Disney's 'Snow White' Struggles With Poor Reviews and Box Office Challenges

The live-action remake faces criticism for its modernized storyline, CGI dwarfs, and underwhelming opening weekend projections.

The film, starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, has received largely negative reviews, with critics citing lackluster visuals, incoherent storytelling, and uninspired updates to the original classic.
Projected to earn $45-55 million domestically in its opening weekend, the film falls short of previous Disney live-action remakes like 'The Little Mermaid' and 'Aladdin.'
Controversies surrounding the casting of a Latina actress as Snow White, the feminist reinterpretation of the story, and the CGI depiction of the seven dwarfs have overshadowed the film's release.
Disney scaled back the premiere event, reportedly due to ongoing backlash and public discourse over the film's political and cultural choices.
With a production budget exceeding $250 million, the film faces significant financial pressure to perform well despite its tepid reception and divisive updates.
