Apparently the call wasn’t out there at all for “Moana,” which brought in just $52 million in its international box office debut.

Disney’s latest live-action remake struggled to make waves with $43 million domestically and $95 million worldwide, a catastrophic start given the film cost $250 million to produce. Heading into the weekend, Disney was projecting a $75 million launch overseas and $130 million to $140 million globally.
