Disney's Live-Action 'Snow White' Struggles With Poor Reviews and Box Office Projections

The $250 million remake faces widespread criticism over creative choices, casting, and representation, with opening weekend earnings expected to fall well below other Disney live-action films.

The film has received a 47% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, one of the lowest scores for a Disney live-action remake, with critics calling it visually unimpressive and lacking coherence.
Rachel Zegler's casting as Snow White, a Latina actress, has drawn backlash from some audiences who argue it diverges from the character's original description in the Brothers Grimm fairytale.
The depiction of the seven dwarfs as CGI 'magical creatures' has been criticized by both advocates for dwarfism representation and cultural commentators for being a misguided attempt at inclusivity.
The film's feminist reinterpretation of Snow White, which removes the traditional love story in favor of a focus on independence and leadership, has polarized audiences and drawn criticism for its execution.
With an estimated opening weekend box office gross of $45 million to $55 million, the film is projected to struggle in recouping its $250 million production budget.
