Disney’s 2025 Film Slate Stumbles as “Snow White” and “Tron: Ares” Rack Up Heavy Losses

Overview

• After a 2024 surge with three billion‑dollar titles, Disney’s 2025 lineup delivered broadly weak returns across marquee franchises.
• “Snow White” and “Tron: Ares” are cited as major flops, each losing well over $100 million, with Marvel’s “Thunderbolts” estimated to be down about $100 million.
• “Captain America: Brave New World” broadly broke even, while “Fantastic Four” only cleared about $100 million at the box office.
• The live‑action “Lilo & Stitch” is identified as a rare bright spot in this year’s slate.
• The setbacks echo sizable 2023 losses on “The Marvels” and “Indiana Jones,” and observers now eye “Zootopia 2” and “Avatar: Fire and Ash” as potential rebound drivers, with all loss figures described as industry estimates.
