Anyone who claims DEI is “good business” has got to be one of the most naive individuals to ever walk this earth, as there is no evidence to support such a foolish claim. Nonetheless, Eva Longoria not only believes that to be true, but she also claims this racist hiring practice is a “moral imperative.”

Wondered what happened to Harvey Weinstein? He's undergone some...changes.

Rachel Zegler should be patting herself on the back for all her dumb comments that have led to Snow White bombing so big at the box office that it might not hit $100M domestically and is looking likely to be one of the biggest bombs ever put out by Disney. Disney certainly isn’t happy but hey, it’s on them for casting Zegler who looks nothing remotely like the original character and who $#!+ all over the original and its near century worth of fans. Disney should have replaced Zegler a long time ago. How’d that work out? Fans have voted...

🍎💥Disney dropped the ball, so Samuel L. Jackson is picking it up—and chucking it straight at the Magic Mirror!! 💥🍎 Samuel L. Jackson stars as Snow White in this brilliantly absurd, AI-created trailer. Throw out everything you think you know about gentle woodland princesses and friendly forest creatures—this Snow White swears like a sailor, questions the logic of fairy-tale fashion choices, and openly mocks the Evil Queen’s questionable motives. With profanity-laden dialogue, razor-sharp wit, and dwarfs ready for action-movie chaos, this irreverent spoof demolishes classic tropes while making you laugh harder than Disney lawyers chasing copyright claims.

“Snow White” is pretty much dead now. No friends from the forest can save her. Yesterday, the Disney debacle finished in third place, losing to two new releases, “Working Man” and “The Chosen.” These two are B movies at best, but managed to trounce “Snow White,” which now has just $56 million in the till. Everything about “Snow White” is cursed at this point. Disney’s only shot is to somehow revive the Pasek/Paul songs next winter for the Oscars. But it will probably be too late for that

Disney's live-action remake of "Snow White" is out in theaters, and with a miserable $42.2 million opening weekend, it's already proven to be a historic flop. The film, starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, cost at least $270 million to make, with tens of millions, if not more, spent on advertising. Given distribution and exhibition costs, it's likely Disney needed the film to make at least $800-850 million globally to break even. With the importance of the domestic market, US grosses needed to reach at least $400 million to give the entertainment giant a chance at profitability. It might not...

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...

I don’t keep up with what Disney is doing. What they did to the Star Wars franchise is unforgivable. Yet, the new Snow White movie starring Rachel Zegler, a pro-Hamas clown, is getting bombed harder than Gaza right now, as critics and theater-goers are decidedly not watching this movie:

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...

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,...

Mirror, mirror on the wall, which “Snow White” stars aren’t friends at all? Rachel Zelger has “nothing in common” with fellow “Snow White” actress Gal Gadot — and tensions are allegedly mounting ahead of the release of their live-action Disney remake. An unnamed insider dished on the duo in an interview with People on Friday, saying the stars live completely different lives. Zegler, 23, is a young up-and-comer, while Gadot, 39, is a mom-of-four who has been married to husband Jaron Varsano since 2008 “On top of that, their political views differ, adding to the tension,” the insider added. Both...

Promotional Image Courtesy of Disney I have been watching the drama over Disney's reboot of "Snow White" with both fascination and dismay. It's not the good kind of fascination either. It's more like viewing a train derailment from a high rise building a couple of blocks away — you don't want to see it, but you can't stop looking. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," is one of the most famous adages that we all seem to learn very early in adulthood, if not earlier. It's not universally applicable, of course. A misapplication of that idea could lead to...

This week saw one of the strangest movie promotional events ever. Skipping all the major cities, Disney decided to throw a premiere event for 100 people at a remote castle in Segovia, Spain. The main aim of Disney seems to have been to get the star of their movie — 23-year old Rachel Zegler — as far away from the public as possible. SPIN In an interview, Zegler announced that the much-loved animated classic was “extremely dated.” As a film made in 1937 might well be. But it was the presumption of what she said next that set alarm bells...

Dwarf actors have shared their outrage at Disney's Snow White remake over the use of CGI characters, claiming it's 'discriminating in a sense' and could damage their careers. In the upcoming live-action film, set to be released in the UK on 21 March, the seven dwarves have been replaced by computer-generated 'magical creatures'. But the move has been criticised by dwarf actors, including those who have played the 'much loved' roles in Snow White pantomimes and now fear that they could lose their livelihood over the American company's decision. Bodybuilder and performer Choon Tan, 31, from north London, who has...

Walt Disney studio chiefs might be feeling their own brand of flop sweat, as one indicator after another piles up that that company's $300 million bet on a live-action "Snow White" is going down faster than the Titanic if the iceberg had been armed with torpedoes and antiship missiles. The Mouse House "won’t be rolling out a robust red carpet like it usually does" for a big-budget premiere next week, Variety reported Tuesday. Instead of a parade of movie stars and celebrities vying for attention on the red carpet and all the attendant big media names, the "Snow White" premiere...

Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, there will be nowhere to go for at least one major premiere of Snow White because Disney has reportedly decided against rolling out the red carpet for its controversial adaptation. Fears of "anti-woke backlash" have apparently prompted the studio to reduce its media schedule for the live-action remake, which stars Rachel Zegler as its leading princess. The stripped-back strategy is said to include canceling the usual star-studded shindig that allows movies to have their moment in the spotlight.Industry insiders told The Daily Mail that there won't be a cinematic celebration for Snow White in the UK ahead of...

Mirror, mirror, on the wall, what’s the most contentious blockbuster of them all? On any list of the most trouble-plagued releases in recent Hollywood history, Disney’s live-action remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs would surely rank heigh-ho, heigh-ho highly. The $270 million-budget spectacle, starring Rachel Zegler as the storybook princess, finally hits cinemas this month after four years of seemingly never-ending online fury and negative news stories. From calls to boycott the film and attacks over its alleged “f______ backward” depiction of little people, all the way to the sight this weekend of the movie’s two biggest stars...

“Snow White” star Rachel Zegler has finally apologized after her nasty tirade about President-elect Donald Trump and his supporters sparked calls for a Disney boycott. The 23-year-old actress issued the groveling apology on her Instagram late Thursday — days after she wished Trump supporters would “never know peace.” “I let my emotions get the best of me,” Zegler wrote to her 2.3 million followers on Instagram. “Hatred and anger have caused us to move further and further away from peace and understanding, and I am sorry I contributed to the negative discourse.”

She’s a bad apple. Megyn Kelly branded Rachel Zegler “a pig” after the star of Disney’s “Snow White” reboot nastily said she wished supporters of President-elect Donald Trump would “never know peace.” The conservative firebrand gave Zegler, 23, and Disney a piece of her mind during her SiriusXM show Thursday — calling out the media giant for hypocrisy and the young starlet for her poorly articulated political takes. “Picture this, a Broadway actress who said, ‘F Biden supporters, may Biden and Kamala never know peace.’ That person would be fired so fast it would make your head spin,” Kelly fumed.

Daniel Alman from Squirrel Hill @DanielAlmanPGH Instead of firing #RachelZegler, #Disney should issue a public statement saying that it was wrong for them to fire #GinaCarano, and that it's wrong to fire anyone for something that is not related to their job performance. #CancelCulture #Woke #News #StarWars #SnowWhite #Trump 6:02 PM · Nov 14, 2024
