Disney Faces $115M Loss as 'Snow White' Live-Action Remake Stumbles

The film's underperformance, casting controversies, and review bombing highlight challenges for Disney's live-action strategy.

The live-action 'Snow White' remake has grossed $143.1 million globally, falling significantly short of its $250-270 million production budget.
The film saw a steep 66% drop in its second weekend, earning just $14.2 million domestically and losing its top box office spot to 'A Working Man.'
Lead actress Rachel Zegler has faced backlash for political comments and criticism of the original 1937 film, with producer Marc Platt's son publicly blaming her for the film's performance.
Celebrities like Pedro Pascal and Ariana Grande have defended Zegler, while the movie has been review-bombed on IMDb, prompting a disclaimer about unusual voting activity.
Disney is projected to lose $115 million on the film, raising questions about the sustainability of its live-action remake model amid polarized audience reactions.
