'Snow White' Grosses $194M Globally Amidst Poor Ratings

Disney's live-action Snow White remake has underperformed at the box office, earning around $85 million domestically and just over $100 million internationally, with a global total close to $194 million. Despite a slight boost over the Easter holiday, the film is unlikely to reach the $200 million mark and is projected to be one of the studio's biggest financial disappointments given its $250 million budget. The movie has faced harsh criticism for its special effects, casting choices, and lack of innovation, reflected in low scores from critics and audiences, including becoming the lowest-rated Disney film on IMDb with a 1.6 rating amid allegations of ratings manipulation. Lead actress Rachel Zegler has been targeted by online trolls for her political views, but most reviews and analysts attribute the film's failure to its inability to engage audiences or recapture the charm of the original animated classic. The disappointing performance comes as Disney faces broader challenges with its recent live-action remakes, prompting questions about the strategy's future. Meanwhile, competing family films like A Minecraft Movie have further overshadowed Snow White's release.
