Snow White Producer's Son Blames Rachel Zegler for Film's Box Office Struggles

Rachel Zegler, the star of Disney's 'Snow White,' faced backlash for her post supporting Palestine, which she shared after the film's trailer debuted. The $270 million film opened to disappointing box office numbers, grossing only $43 million, leading to speculation that Zegler's political stance negatively impacted its reception. Producer Marc Platt reportedly flew to New York to discuss the issue with Zegler after her comments drew concern from Disney executives, especially following threats received by her Israeli co-star Gal Gadot. Jonah Platt, Marc's son, defended his father's actions on social media, criticizing Zegler as 'immature' and arguing that her statements harmed the film's success. Meanwhile, supporters of Zegler have rallied against the narrative that she is at fault, emphasizing her right to free speech. The controversy has sparked intense debate online, with many feeling that blaming Zegler is unfair and misplaced.
