Disney’s “Moana” hits the box office again.

The beloved 2016 animated musical is the latest Disney film to get the live-action treatment. The remake of the film, starring Catherine Laga’aia as Moana and Dwayne Johnson reprising his role as the buff god Maui, has grossed $4.5 million in box office trailers.

The film is estimated to open between $60 million and $65 million this weekend, although some projections are softer, around $40 million. A release on the lower end would leave the tropical film reeling under the weight of its massive $250 million production budget, plus global marketing costs. The international box office could rescue the film, where “Moana” is expected to add another $70 to $75 million to its haul.

“Moana” could join films like Disney’s “Dumbo” remake, which opened with $45 million in 2019, and 2025’s “Snow White” ($42 million), as less successful live-action remakes. On the other hand, “Lilo & Stitch,” “The Lion King,” and “Beauty and the Beast” debuted with more than $100 million and became major hits for the studio.

The “Moana” trailer haul is comparable to “Lightyear’s” $5.2 million and “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire’s” $4.7 million. “Lightyear” ultimately debuted with $50.6 million, while “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” launched with $45 million.

If “Moana” fails to draw crowds, time may be a factor. The live-action musical debuts just two years after “Moana 2” became a billion-dollar box office hit. The sequel, originally conceived as a television series and turned into a feature film, exceeded expectations and opened with $225 million over the Thanksgiving holiday. The original “Moana” film was also a hit with $680 million worldwide, after opening with $56 million when it was released in 2016.

Also premiering this weekend is “Evil Dead Burn,” the sixth entry in the Warner Bros. horror franchise. It is estimated that it will open for between 15 and 20 million dollars and its production will only cost 20 million dollars. “Evil Dead Burn” grossed $2.3 million in trailers.

Elsewhere, A24 and Olivia Wilde’s “The Invite” is aiming to add $4 million to $5 million when it expands domestically this weekend. Universal’s “Minions & Monsters,” last week’s box office champ, is expected to gross $17 million to $22 million in its second weekend, and “Toy Story 5” is on track to gross $18 million to $20 million in its fourth weekend.
