Opened in the UK with less than half of what Trolls did!


Yikes...what is up with the UK lately? They seem to be going crazy over garbage like Secret Life of Pets and Trolls.

Very disappointing.

pets and trolls are okay. Moana will out gross both. You`re welcome. 

Based on what?

Wishful thinking?

Trolls was surprisingly enjoyable and not surprisingly, very beautifully done. I wouldn't call it garbage.

Dec. 19 and it still hasn't even reached 9 million in the UK.

And it's already outgrossed Trolls in China, Colombia, India, Malaysia, and the Phillipines. And it isn't far behind Trolls in Spain, France, and Russia, despite being out almost two months less. So nitpicking at one territory that Moana hasn't done great in does not make it a failure.

Disney films are slow burners in the UK, they stay at the multiplexes for months instead of weeks.

So there's other territories that moana flopped at? That's pretty fvcking sad.

It's definitely having a difficult run with huge swaths of the world marketplace. Much more than Disney ever expected, I'm sure.

I live in India. I saw Moana in its second week, and the theatre was nearly sold out (much higher occupancy than my two viewings of Zootopia and nearly comparable to Finding Dory), so I can assure you that it is most definitely not flopping here.

Adventure is out there!

How on earth did you infer that from what I posted?

You admitted it yourself.
