Disney's live-action remake of Moana has received a 37% score on Rotten Tomatoes, the worst among Disney's live-action adaptations, criticized for flat visuals and unnecessary duplication of the original. Despite a $250 million budget, opening weekend box office projections are low, between $40 million and $65 million, far below hits like Lilo and Stitch's $146 million. This poor reception may prompt Disney to reconsider its strategy on remakes, especially for recent films, even as it plans more adaptations like Tangled and others. The performance of Moana could influence Disney's future remake decisions significantly.
