For a Disney live-action movie trailer (non-20th Century Studios), that\u2019s the second most viewed trailer for the studio behind the teaser for 2019\u2019s The Lion King at 225 million. By all accounts, Disney has a huge box office hit on their hands next summer with Moana opening on July 10, 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tAmong all trailers that dropped this year and their first day traffic, Moana ranks third behind Fantastic Four: First Steps (202M views) The\u00a0Devil Wears Prada 2\u00a0trailer which dropped last week to a 24-hour count of 185M views.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tOnline sentiment showed an enthusiasm for the return of Maui and Moana to the big screen and were impressed by the\u00a0beautiful imagery showcased, especially the ocean scenes and tropical island landscapes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThe live-action Moana is directed by\u00a0Hamilton\u00a0Tony winner Thomas Kail, and stars newcomer Catherine Laga\u2019aia in the title role. <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/dwayne-johnson\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dwayne Johnson<\/a>\u00a0is reprising the role of demigod Maui from the animated pics. In the movie, Moana answers the ocean\u2019s call and, for the first time, voyages beyond the reef of her island of Motunui with Maui on an unforgettable quest to restore prosperity to her people. We also meet the intimidating yet adorable tribe of Kakamora.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThe original 2016 animated movie grossed $643.3M, while last year\u2019s sequel, Moana 2, did $1.059 billion for a total franchise haul of $1.7 billion.
