Disney's 'Snow White' Faces Box Office Challenges

Disney's live-action remake of 'Snow White' opened with a disappointing $43 million domestically and $87.3 million globally, falling short of the projected $100 million. Despite an extensive marketing campaign, the film faced controversies over casting choices and storyline changes, with some critics labeling it as 'woke'. Backlash was fueled by lead actress Rachel Zegler's comments about the original film and her character's reimagined role. The film, costing over $250 million to produce, received mixed reviews, with criticisms focusing on its over-reliance on CGI and lack of vibrancy. Severe weather and cultural debates around cast members Gal Gadot and Rachel Zegler may have contributed to lower audience turnout. Despite the rocky start, Disney aims for long-term success similar to past live-action remakes.
