Statham's 'A Working Man' Tops Box Office, Dethrones 'Snow White'

Jason Statham's latest film, 'A Working Man,' unexpectedly topped the box office with a $15.2 million debut, surpassing the struggling Disney live-action remake 'Snow White,' which saw a significant 66% drop to $14.2 million in its second week. Directed by David Ayer and co-written by Sylvester Stallone, 'A Working Man' features Statham as a construction worker drawn back into action to combat human traffickers. This success is seen as a shift towards mid-budget films in Hollywood, as larger blockbusters continue to underperform, with 'Snow White' grossing only $143.1 million globally against its $250 million budget. Meanwhile, other new releases, including 'The Chosen: The Last Supper' and 'The Woman in the Yard,' also entered the box office race but failed to make a significant impact. The contrasting fortunes of 'A Working Man' and 'Snow White' highlight the evolving landscape of movie audience preferences in 2025. As the industry reassesses its strategies, the performance of mid-budget films may point the way forward in a changing market.
