Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' Crosses $82 Million Worldwide in Record-Breaking Opening Weekend variety.com/2026/film/box-…

Disney is about to triple-dip on a single cartoon in under two years, and the math says you'd be insane not to. The original Moana made $643 million at the box office in 2016. Solid, not spectacular. Then something weird happened. On Disney+, the movie refused to die. Nielsen data shows it has been streamed for over 1.4 billion hours on the platform, the equivalent of someone watching the full movie 775 million times. It was the #1 most-watched film across all streaming services in both 2023 and 2024. Not an MCU movie. Not Star Wars. A Polynesian teenager and a shapeshifting demigod. That streaming explosion is why Moana 2, originally intended as a Disney+ TV series, was rerouted to theaters. Bob Iger made the call in February 2024. It went on to gross $1.059 billion worldwide on a TV show budget. Deadline pegged the net profit at $415 million, making it the second most profitable film of 2024. Now comes the live-action version. Disney's live-action remakes have grossed over $9 billion combined, despite production budgets of about $2 billion. The Lion King (2019) did $1.66 billion. Beauty and the Beast did $1.26 billion. Lilo & Stitch just crossed $1.038 billion in worldwide box office, on a $100 million budget. But the formula is not automatic. Snow White, released in March 2025 on a $250 million+ budget, made $205 million worldwide and cost Disney an estimated $115 million. The difference between a billion and a bomb: whether people are already watching the original on repeat before the remake even gets announced. Moana's demand is not close to anything else in Disney's vault. 1.4 billion hours streamed. Most-watched movie on all of streaming, two years running. Lin-Manuel Miranda is back writing songs for the live-action version after sitting out Moana 2. Dwayne Johnson is physically playing Maui for the first time. And Auli'i Cravalho, who voiced Moana in both animated films, turned down the live-action lead so another Pacific Islander could take the role. Catherine Laga'aia, in her film debut, stepped in. Cravalho stayed on as executive producer. Between the original, the sequel, and a live-action remake in theaters July 10, the Moana franchise is tracking toward a combined theatrical gross approaching $3 billion from a single set of characters in under a decade. Disney now owns 33 of the 58 films that have ever crossed $1 billion worldwide. That's 57% of the billion-dollar club, from one studio. The internet can debate whether these remakes should exist. Disney's spreadsheet already won that argument.
