In this Breitbart article, John Nolte reports that Disney’s live-action Moana remake is shaping up as another major box office bomb for the studio amid poor critical reception and weak audience interest.
- With a reported $250 million production budget plus $100 million in marketing, opening weekend projections hover around a dismal $40 million, far below Moana 2’s $140 million debut.
- The film holds a pathetic 36% on Rotten Tomatoes from 80 reviews, reflecting widespread critical disdain even from Disney-friendly outlets.
- The trailer draws heavy mockery, particularly for Dwayne Johnson’s costume, described as resembling a “transvestite refugee from a 1980’s heavy metal band.”
- Nolte slams Disney’s creative bankruptcy for remaking a 10-year-old animated hit so soon after its sequel, relying on expensive CGI with questionable results.
- The $350 million total cost would require $600–750 million worldwide just to break even, a tall order given Disney’s recent track record destroying franchises like Star Wars and Marvel.
- The piece ties the project to broader accusations of Disney’s “grooming syndicate” priorities, suggesting the bizarre visuals appeal more to internal agendas than family audiences.
