Overview

• In an Israeli TV interview on August 14, Gadot said post-Oct. 7 pressure on celebrities to condemn Israel “greatly affected” Snow White’s box office performance.
• On August 17, she clarified via Instagram Stories that her original remarks were made from an emotional place and that multiple factors shaped the film’s reception.
• Snow White earned roughly $205 million worldwide against a reported $240–270 million production budget, leaving Disney with an estimated $115 million loss.
• The film faced a string of pre-release disputes—casting debates, CGI dwarf designs and co-star Rachel Zegler’s public support for Palestine—which executives believe discouraged audiences.
• Gadot’s outspoken support for Israel led to an uptick in death threats against her and higher security costs that Disney covered.
