The Kernel take
Two weekends in, live-action Moana is badly lagging its $250M budget: worldwide gross sits near $184M after a $43.1M domestic opening fell to $17.9M in weekend two (about a 58% drop, steep for a Disney family title). That soft hold lines up with a 42 Metascore ("Mixed or Average" from 40 critics, only 20% positive) -- reviews split more toward tepid-to-negative than toward the kind of word-of-mouth that sustains grosses through slow weeks.
