Disney's live-action adaptation of Snow White opened to disappointing box office sales, generating $43 million domestically against a budget exceeding $250 million. The film faced significant controversy prior to its release, including criticism over its treatment of dwarfs and comments from lead actress Rachel Zegler. With a mere 43% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, critical reception was lukewarm, and the film's opening weekend performance was below that of other recent Disney remakes like Dumbo and Cinderella. This lackluster launch raises concerns about the effectiveness of Disney's strategy to produce live-action remakes of animated classics.
This Snow White struggled to find anything like a fairy tale ending, as it opened with a sleepy $43 million, far from Disney's expectations following its budget of over $250 million.
Poor reviews with a score of just 43% on Rotten Tomatoes, combined with pre-release controversies, suggest that the studio's long-term strategy of remakes is faltering.
