Disney's live-action 'woke' remake of Snow White is shaping up to be one of the iconic franchise's worst-performing movies in recent years, according to initial box office figures.
Snow White has been mired in controversy due to comments from its star Rachel Zegler and the absence of the iconic song 'Someday My Prince Will Come.'
The first results from theaters have been revealed, and they're not great.
The movie made just $3.5 million in Thursday previews and is projected to earn a disappointing $45 to $55 million during its opening weekend.
That places the film below Disney's Little Mermaid remake, which premiered in 2023 and made $95 million during opening.
Disney's 2019 Dumbo remake made $2.6 million in previews and profited a total of $45 million on opening weekend.
However, Dumbo only required $170 million to make, while Snow White cost over $250 million, excluding marketing costs.
Despite the underperforming figures, Snow White did rank higher than Disney's Cinderella remake, which only grossed $2.3 million in previews.
The film has also failed to impress critics, clocking in at only 44 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
A review by Daily Mail's Brian Viner gave the film a pitiful two stars, calling it 'a painfully muddle-headed affair.'

Is there any one thing that Disney did correctly in making
and releasing this movie?
Disney’s goal is not to make money. If they can talk one little girl into becoming a bulldyke or convince one little boy to chop off his wee wee, then they consider the movie to have served its purpose.
How many straight cast members does it take at Disneyland to screw in a lightbulb??
Both of them.

$12 mil for Friday, and it probably won’t clear $40 mil for the weekend.

Disney is starting to remind me of Ukraine.
And I’m wondering if Disney now serves a similar purpose...
They predict a 100 million globally the first weekend. It cost 209 million to make. The global audience will probably save it.
It cost a lot more than that. That figure doesn’t include marketing costs. Might not even include the reshoots. And Disney won’t get all of the take. The cinemas get paid, too.

“It must be hollywood accounting.”
Everyone at the top got paid. They couldn’t care any less about how the movie does.
It’s Hollywood, baby!
A dumpster fire going off a cliff. What mother wants to take her daughter to watch a man hating shrew?
They’ve known for 18 mos this movie stank on ice and was totally stained by the young actress in the lead. But they pressed forward.
