Disney's 'Snow White' Struggles to Reach Profitability After Passing $50M Domestic Box Office
The live-action remake faces criticism for its modernization, casting, and messaging, with global earnings still under $100M nearly a week after release.
- Disney's live-action 'Snow White' has crossed the $50 million mark in domestic box office earnings after a modest boost from discounted Tuesday ticket sales.
- The film's global earnings remain below $100 million, far short of the $800-850 million needed to break even on its $270 million production and marketing budget.
- Critics and audiences are divided, with a 29% Rotten Tomatoes score from top critics and a more favorable 74% audience rating, though neither has offset the negative sentiment surrounding the film.
- The remake has faced backlash for its modernization of the classic story, including CGI dwarves and changes to Snow White's character, which many felt alienated fans of the original.
- Political controversies involving lead actress Rachel Zegler and perceived messaging in the film have further polarized audiences, particularly alienating family audiences in conservative-leaning regions.
