Disney's 'Snow White' Faces Fallout from Rachel Zegler's Political Posts
Producer's son Jonah Platt criticizes Zegler's controversial comments as contributing to the film's poor box office performance.
- The live-action 'Snow White' remake grossed $87 million globally in its opening weekend, far below its $270 million production budget.
- Rachel Zegler's 'Free Palestine' post and anti-Trump comments have been cited as factors in the film's underperformance by Jonah Platt, son of producer Marc Platt.
- Disney increased security for co-star Gal Gadot following death threats linked to Zegler's political statements, highlighting tensions between the two leads.
- Marc Platt reportedly flew to New York to address Zegler's social media activity, which some claim diverted attention from the movie's promotion.
- The film has received largely negative reviews, with critics and audiences divided over its casting, narrative changes, and perceived political undertones.
