Which company distributed the 2026 live-action Moana in the United States?

Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures distributed the 2026 live-action Moana in the United States.

Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures is the theatrical distribution division of The Walt Disney Studios. It handles the domestic cinema release of many Disney-owned and Disney-produced films, including major live-action adaptations, Marvel releases, Pixar films and Walt Disney Animation titles. For Moana, the distributor released the film theatrically in the United States on July 10, 2026.

The distributor is not the same thing as the production company. Walt Disney Pictures and Seven Bucks Productions are listed among the film’s production companies, while Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures handled its theatrical distribution. Another possible source of confusion is Walt Disney Animation Studios, which produced the 2016 animated original but is not the listed distributor of the live-action remake. International distribution arrangements can sometimes differ by territory, so this answer specifically applies to the United States, as the question asks.
