How much has the live-action remake collected so far at the North American box office?
The live-action remake has collected $4 million at the North American box office on its second discounted Tuesday. It is holding strong at the box office in North America.

The domestic total of the live-action remake is $87.3 million.
Still needs more than $161 million to beat Moana’s total at the North American box office
According to Box Office Mojo, Moana was released in 2016. It is an original animation that became a sleeper hit. It collected over $248.7 million at the North American box office in its domestic run. The live-action remake has not yet crossed the $100 million milestone at the domestic box office. It still needs more than $161 million away from beating the OG Moana’s domestic haul. With the current momentum, the live-action will not surpass the 2016 hit’s theatrical run.
