Moana Live-Action Tracking Slumps to $35-65M Opening
Key Questions
What are the latest box office projections for Disney's Moana live-action remake?

What is the critic reception for the Moana live-action film?
Early reports describe the Rotten Tomatoes critic score as a significant Disney disappointment. This negative buzz adds to concerns ahead of tonight's premiere and the July 10 wide release.
