Overview

• The live-action Snow White closed its North American and international run on June 5 with a combined $205.5 million gross against an all-in cost of roughly $410 million.
• Deadline estimates place the financial shortfall at more than $115 million, marking it as one of Disney’s largest live-action flops.
• Snow White opened to a modest $42.2 million domestically and suffered a 66 percent decline in its second weekend, signaling weak audience engagement.
• Pre-release controversies— including casting debates, Rachel Zegler’s remarks calling the original story “dated” and the decision to render the dwarfs in CGI—fueled negative buzz.
• In contrast, Disney’s live-action Lilo & Stitch has surged to $637 million worldwide, while Snow White arrives on Disney+ on June 10.
