play

“Snow White” is no longer the most beautiful of everyone at the box office.

The Disney live action remake with Rachel Zegler was unexpectedly replaced in the theaters on the second weekend in the theaters. In a surprise, the New Jason Statham Action Film “A Working Man” stood on the domestic fund with 15.2 million US dollars on the first weekend, while “Snow White” achieved a further $ 14.2 million dollars during its second framework.

For “Snow White”, this was a severe decline compared to the first 42 million dollar debut of the film last weekend. How strongly a film decreases on its second weekend can point out whether it will continue to do well in the coming weeks, which makes this a worrying sign for Disney.

The “Snow White” cash description last week has already been regarded as a disappointment compared to the distance from other Disney live action remakes. The live action “The Little Mermaid” opened over three days to $ 95.5 million, while “Beauty and the Beast” opened to $ 174.7 million. “Aladdin” began $ 67.8 million with $ 91.5 million and “Cinderella”, according to Mojo.

“Snow White” controversy, explained

“Snow White” came to the cinemas after being plagued by controversy for years, since the seven dwarfs in the leading role of Zegler, which is Colombian and Polish descent, agreed in the leading role. Zegler also annoyed some Disney fans by describing the love story in the original “Snow White” as “strange”, and she made headlines with her pronounced views of the Israel-Hamas War and the Presidential Elections 2024.

After the star “Snow White” thanked fans last year to see the “Snow White” annual, he wrote on X, and always remember Free Palestine.

In an Instagram comment that has since been deleted last week, Jonah Platt, the son of the “Snow White” producer Marc Platt, accused the political statements of Zegler for the grass growth of the film. He popped the actress for “her personal policy in the middle of advertising for the film” and said that “this” clearly violates the cash register of the film “.

“Tens of thousands of people worked on this film and kidnapped the conversation for their own immature wishes, whereby the risk of all colleagues and crew and blue collar workers who are dependent on this film are successful,” added Platt.

It is unclear whether the “snow-related” performance could also indicate that the audience starts to lose interest in Disney live action remakes. But if this is the case, it should soon be clear because Disney has another on the slate for this summer: “Lilo & Stitch”, which will open in May. A live action remake of “Moana” will also be released in July 2026.
