Disney's 'Snow White' Opens to Disappointing $43M Domestic Box Office
The live-action remake struggles with lukewarm reviews, high costs, and pre-release controversies, marking one of Disney's weakest debuts in the genre.
- 'Snow White' grossed $43 million domestically and $87.3 million globally in its opening weekend, falling short of its $100 million global projection.
- The film's $250-$270 million production budget and additional marketing costs mean it faces significant challenges to achieve profitability.
- Critics gave the movie a 43-44% score on Rotten Tomatoes, while audiences rated it a B+ on CinemaScore, below typical ratings for Disney's live-action remakes.
- Pre-release controversies included backlash over casting, updates to the story, and political tensions between lead actors Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot.
- Disney is focusing on long-term box office performance, merchandising, and integration into its broader brand ecosystem to mitigate the weak opening.
