Even Snow White wouldn't want to wake up to this nightmare that she created.
In the latest example of Gen Z realizing that words have consequences, Disney's real-life Snow White debuted on Friday to horrific numbers, with the $209 million budget film bringing in a reported measly $15.5 million to kick off its expected $40-$50 million box office weekend.
The pathetic turnout comes after lead actress Rachel Zegler's controversial comments disparaging the original 1937 movie as being "extremely dated" with its views about women "and a stalker Prince," to wishing "no peace" to Trump supporters after the President's reelection in November. Brilliant move there, Rachel, truly. (She would eventually delete her post two days later).

The budget of this film is north of $400 Million and with marketing added in it needs to gross about $1 Billion to break even.
Kathleen Kennedy had nothing to do with the Snow White film at all.
The question is, will they learn anything from this flop? Or will they double down on stupid?
Everyone in Hollywood is woke.
budget $240–270 million
box office $16 million
I know, wrong franchise, but it still applies.

Maybe there could have been some dogs nearby and they could have named her Yellow Snow.
She’ll be all right, it’s just a bump in the road for her.

That’s a line from South Park I was using. It’s from “Joining the Panderverse” episode.
Oh, well.
Beautiful music. A reminder of a film I last saw nearly 70 years ago.
“$209 million? Nope. This is $300 million+. Disney always lies abiut costs”
Although the break even numbers are all over the map, add in marketing costs and you are in the 500-550 million range. I have seen the number over 600 million.
Actually Disney seems to have seen the writing on the wall and it appears they are avoiding huge marketing costs. Scaled down Premires in London and Hollywood. I have seen very few tv commercials advertising the release. Mostly I have seen some cross promotion commercials with Miracle Grow Fertilizer. Imagine that Snow White and Cow manure, they go hand in hand.
They're hoping to break even by doing well in overseas markets.
