Disney's 'Snow White' Struggles at Box Office Amidst Controversy

The live-action remake underperforms financially while facing criticism over casting, narrative changes, and execution.

'Snow White' earned $43 million domestically and $87.3 million globally in its opening weekend, falling short of Disney's projections.
The film's production budget exceeded $250 million, raising concerns about its financial viability after a weak start.
Criticism has focused on the film's reliance on CGI, casting choices, and narrative modernization, including the removal of the prince.
Cultural debates surrounding casting and the political stances of lead actresses Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot have fueled controversy.
Disney is looking to the Easter holiday period for a potential box office rebound, citing past delayed successes like 'Mufasa.'
