Movie Monday: ‘Moana’ Sails to Win … But Looks Leaky

Disney faced a good news, bad news scenario this weekend. The good news: Its live-action remake of Moana earned a box-office win, more than doubling the earnings of its nearest competitor. The bad news: Moana’s $43 million estimated take in North America—and its worldwide gross of $95 million—actually looks pretty paltry, considering how much Disney spent to make the thing.How much did Disney spend on the new Moana, you ask? About $250 million, according to experts, not counting marketing costs.
