The crisis facing the Walt Disney Company over its controversial Snow White reboot deepened today amid pictures of empty cinemas and screens with no bookings in primetime slots following a poor opening weekend.
Studio bosses had hoped that the reboot of the 1937 original, which had a budget of more than $270million (£210million), would launch with at least £79million ($100million) in ticket sales.
But the movie starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot took just $87.3million (£67.4million) globally including $43million (£33million) in the US after a slow start followed a slew of negative reviews.
Meanwhile, in mainland China, Snow White ranked outside the top five movies in cinemas – bringing in less than $1million (£800,000) in its first three days.
The film has also been accused of 'wokeness' after the Seven Dwarfs were re-imagined as a group of 'magical creatures' - while comments by Zegler and Gadot ahead of its release have also faced criticism.
The Mail's Brian Viner slammed it as a 'painfully muddle-headed affair', adding: 'This production has been cursed from the start. Disney's contorted attempts not to offend anyone have somehow managed to offend everyone.'
One prospective cinema-goer shared on social media how the movie sold zero tickets at one point for a prime weekend slot in the US, and just one for another screening. They posted on X: 'Opening Friday night for Disney's Snow White in Imax. Only ONE person bought tickets for tonight. Yeah, this movie's gonna flop.'

“‘Snow White and the 7 tickets sold”
LOL. The Critical Drinker, funniest online movie critic who brilliantly pans everything,, says the actress who played Snow “White” did a good enough job, all things considered, but the rest of the movie was a mess.

WHO THOUGHT RELEASE ON THE MARCH MADNESS WEEKEND OPENER WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA???

I agree, I get that part. Apparently, the backers don’t mind losing money, which used to be a no-no. I’m glad I’m old, I don’t care for a world where everything is about politics.
Clay and Buck talked about this movie today. If they simply repeayed the original with all live actors they would have had a blockbuster. Because they went woke, they got broke.
Lesson to Hollywood: not enough transvestite characters.

I'm a huge fan of Critical Drinker, Disparu and Nerdrotic - they post independently on YOUTUBE but Nerdrotic hosts group chats with them and 4 or 5 other critics who all discuss films like Snow Woke. The group videos are posted on Friday's and the title is 'Friday Night Tights- Nerdrotic' (Friday Night Tights is also posted to Rumble). The language and jokes can get pretty coarse in the groups - the opinions are insightful and debate can be vigorous. All this is much more informative than anything in NYTimes or other legacy sources.
My two favorites are stand alone videos by Critical Drinker and Disparu.

Yep, I watched his review yesterday, and he pretty much ripped Gadot as a bad actor. And by the way some are giving Gadot a pass, she shouldn’t have one, she was dead panning and playing right along with the little beotch Zegler a couple years back on some red carpet event where Zegler made the woke comments about the original Snow White. They are simpatico other than the Israeli / Gaza issue IMO.
Filled with folks who voted for Biden.
And for all things Disney, YouTube channels That Park Place and WDW Pro.
DeeLightful! Isn’t it?
Alto Knights deserves to die as well. Robert De Niro is waaaaay past his sell by date playing any tough gangster. Add in the TDS, the Frankenstein shoe lifts and his evil, ugly heart, nobody’s gonna support that. I’ve seen more honest mafia exposes’ from the history channel. There’s not one of us on this earth that can tell you the true story about the mafia. I’m certainly not going to pay to see Hollywood white wash those killers and criminals nor line the pockets of this ahole. See ya Bobby
Looks more like So What and the seven magical creatures.
Thanks re Nerdrotic and Disparu. Just watched Nerdrotic cleverly rip Snow White apart. Subscribed. Will take a look at Disparu soon.
Says a lot about movie theaters as a source of entertainment in this country.
I’m not happy it isnt great for the general, overall economy. It affects folks who have nothing to do with it.
As far as it hurts the wokesters who planned it at Disney, well, thats a different story,
If disney wanted to “modernize” Snow White, they could’ve cast Bill Cosby as Prince Charming kissing her after she wakes up from the ‘Ludes.
What I heard is that Peter Dinklage is responsible for the CGI dwarves. He complained to Disney about pigeon holing little people in limited role as dwarves. CGI was Disney’s work around.
Dude, Howard was pulled to this dimension by a hyper dimensional vortex, Not cool. So much better than Snow Woke.
