Disney's 'Snow White' Opens to Poor Reviews and Box Office Projections

The live-action remake, marred by controversies and production challenges, struggles to resonate with critics and audiences alike.

The film has received largely negative reviews, with critics highlighting issues such as lackluster storytelling, poor CGI effects, and heavy-handed political messaging.
Box office projections estimate an underwhelming $45-55 million opening weekend, significantly below other Disney live-action remakes like 'The Little Mermaid' and 'Aladdin.'
Rachel Zegler's casting as a Latina Snow White and the reimagining of the seven dwarfs as CGI characters have been focal points of backlash.
The story deviates from the original, replacing the prince with a bandit named Jonathan and emphasizing themes of self-empowerment over romance.
Production faced numerous challenges, including COVID-19 delays, Hollywood strikes, and controversies surrounding political statements by the cast.
