Moana Live-Action Fails to Break Even
26 Aug
Summary
- Moana remake struggles, needing $625 million to break even.
- The film has grossed $308.2 million worldwide on a $250 million budget.
- Despite recouping production costs, profitability remains out of reach.
The live-action remake of Moana is experiencing significant struggles at the box office. Released on July 10, 2026, the film has grossed $308.2 million worldwide, barely crossing a major milestone. Its domestic total stands at $125.7 million, with international earnings reaching $182.4 million.
With a reported budget of $250 million, Moana has at least recovered its production costs. However, the film is unlikely to achieve profitability. It is estimated to need approximately $625 million globally to break even, a target it is not expected to meet.
This financial performance places the Dwayne Johnson starrer among the lower-performing movies of 2026. Its weak box office run means it will soon depart from domestic theaters, concluding as a financial failure.
