Morning Brew Daily · Oil Prices Keep Climbing & ‘Moana’ Flops at the Box Office · 14 Jul 2026 podcast

For the studio, it tied last year's box office bomb Snow White for the lowest opening of any of its live-action remakes of animated classics.

While critics hated it, giving it a 34% aggregate score on Rotten Tomatoes, audiences kind of...

loved it, giving it an aggregate score of 90%.

The original 2016 animated Moana grossed $640 million and became the most watched movie of all time on Disney+.

Shout out to all my parents out there.

Moana 2, which came out in 2024, grossed over $1 billion.

In a statement, Disney said the opening weekend was a good start ahead of its full month of summer vacation play with families.

Kayla?

I have to be honest, when the trailer for this live-action Moana came out, I thought to myself, already?

And, of course, you have heavyweights like The Odyssey coming out this Friday, Dune Part 3, the fourth Spider-Man movie, and Avengers Doomsday.

which is kind of funny.

We mentioned Toy Story 5.
