Disney Admits Live-Action Moana and Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu 'Underperformed', But Says The Movies Still Helped Shift Plenty of Merchandise

Disney's live-action Moana and Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu both underperformed at the box office, but their ticket sales are only part of the story, the company has argued.
Moana is currently languishing on a $263 million box office, against a $250 million budget, making it almost as bad a box office bomb as the widely-panned live-action Snow White.
The Mandalorian and Grogu, meanwhile, finished its theatrical run on a box office of $345 million against a $165 million budget.
While this is a better profit margin than Moana, it is still the lowest box office for any live-action Star Wars film — even Solo.
Still, despite this positive spin, the chances of a live-action Moana 2 seem slim-to-none.
