Disney's 'Snow White' Faces Fallout from Rachel Zegler's Social Media Controversies

The film's underwhelming box office debut and ongoing backlash highlight tensions over Zegler's political posts, co-star conflicts, and creative decisions.

  • The live-action 'Snow White' remake earned $87 million globally in its opening weekend, far below its $270 million production budget.
  • Rachel Zegler's controversial social media posts, including pro-Palestine and anti-Trump remarks, are cited as contributing factors to the film's poor performance.
  • Gal Gadot, Zegler's co-star, faced death threats after Zegler's pro-Palestine post, prompting Disney to increase Gadot's security.
  • Jonah Platt, son of producer Marc Platt, publicly criticized Zegler for her 'immature' actions, accusing her of jeopardizing the film's success.
  • Criticism of the film extends to its modernized narrative and marketing strategy, with reviewers and audiences divided on its creative direction.
