Disney's 'Snow White' Faces $115 Million Loss Following Box Office Struggles

The film's underperformance, coupled with controversies surrounding lead actress Rachel Zegler, raises questions about Disney's live-action remake strategy.

Disney's live-action 'Snow White' remake has grossed $143.1 million globally, far below its $270 million production budget, and is projected to lose $115 million.
The film experienced a steep 66% drop in its second weekend, earning just $14.2 million domestically and losing its top box office spot to Jason Statham's 'A Working Man.'
Rachel Zegler, the lead actress, has faced significant backlash for her political comments and criticism of the original 1937 film, which some blame for the movie's poor reception.
Critics have highlighted Zegler's performance as the film's strongest element, though the movie has been criticized for its CGI and narrative changes.
The failure of 'Snow White' has intensified scrutiny on Disney's live-action remake strategy, with analysts suggesting audience fatigue and mismanagement as contributing factors.
