Disney should have given the role of Snow White to Anya Taylor-Joy if they were really so desperate to score diversity points with their casting decisions. Her skin IS as white as snow and she IS a real Latina actress who didn't forget her (Argentinian) roots.



(She probably can't sing though, that's important too of course)

It wouldn't have worked with her either.
 
I gave up with all the live action adaptations after the borefest that was Cinderella. I guess I'm not missing out on anything. Disney seems hellbent on ruining their legacy.

From what I've read and heard about Snow White Rachel Zegler is actually decent in it. The real problems are the muddled plot, the Gal Gadot's overacting, the seven CGI abominations, the yellow piss filter, the weak new song, and so much more.

BTW The Rotten audience score is higher than expected. Or it could be inflated because people watching expected something truly awful and it was just bad/meh.

There's also a new BO prediction: mid-$40Ms.


2ND UPDATE, Friday midday: Currently, Disney‘s Snow White is seeing $15.5 million today, which includes last night’s $3.5M, and will get the Rachel Zegler-Gal Gadot movie to the mid-$40Ms for a three-day total at the domestic box office. That’s right around where Dumbo was, jeez: That Tim Burton clunker did $15.2M on its opening day for a near $46M 3-day off a much cheaper production cost than Snow White ($170M versus $270M). Again, it all comes down to Saturday and Sunday matinees with Snow White particularly given its target of women.

Warner Bros may be wishing it were Disney right now: WB’s $50M Robert De Niro double gangster movie The Alto Knights per industry sources will be lucky to slot fifth with at least $1M today (including previews) and $3M for the weekend off a $50M production cost. Another unfortunate misfire for the studio of Harry, Albert, Sam and Jack…but Minecraft is coming.

they have tons of money, they can produce 10 more fail movies and still have money for other 10 more fails.

obviosly this wont be good for shareholders.
Me being one of them. Picked up some Disney stock when they were at their top with Marvel. Not a happy camper right now.
 
Alright folks. For the people who actually saw this…how was the movie? Is it appropriate for 6-10 year old boys and girls?

How does it fair against other Disney live action remakes like Beauty & Beast, Aladdin, Lion King, and Jungle Book?

Critical Drinker pretty much said the same thing about Zegler being the actual highlight of the movie, let down by a shit script and direction.
 
Why would you do this to your kids? 🤣 Sit them down and have them watch the OG instead.
Not to get into a long story, but it is for my niece and nephew. Their parent is going thru cancer treatment and uncle moose is in charge of keeping them busy. They like going to the movies, and it looks better than Minecraft movie does.

So, i would appreciate real answers.

My sentiment is that children will find this movie veeeery boring. I'm not even touching the awfull performances here, but if the only strong points is the singing and not the actual movie, then it would be better just to listen the music on internet. The Dwarves looks very creepie in the big screen, their cgi actually looks way worse than the promotional videos so I'm not sure kids will be pleased to watch them.

I just watched the Snow White (2025) trailer, and honestly, I'm curious to see how they reimagine the story. Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen looks intense, and Rachel Zegler seems like a great fit for the role. Definitely keeping an eye on this one! 👑🍎

Rachel "How dare you question my identity!" Zegler who has a Polish dad, is only half Columbian, was born in the US, is not familair with Colombian culture and doesn't speak Spanish. :messenger_grinning_sweat:
Penelope Cruz who wants to come off as the most British person ever: "You want me to drag William and Edward outta the local pub for ya? I’ll do it, and I’ll bring me mum’s famous baked beans. Proper smashin’, innit!"

I think disney's plan is to make everyone just want to watch the original and they end up signing up to disney+ to do it
"Sign up for the SUPER TIER or we'll show you ads for Snow White every ten minutes."

Disney‘s Snow White is coming in lighter for the weekend with $43M domestic and an $87.3M global start. Not a happy ending for this $270M production, which was impacted by the actors strike, Covid breakout, a set fire and more.

They say there’s no such thing as bad publicity, but clearly in the case of Snow White there was. Disney has been put through the ringer before on controversial theatrical releases –i.e. Solo: A Star Wars Story and its swapping of directors from Lord & Miller to Ron Howard, which deep-sixed that movie to a very less than $1 billion global take of $393M worldwide. It’s why Disney muzzles talent on slipping any kind of information on a movie months in advance, particularly on Star Wars and Marvel movies. The concern is that if starts tease too much, or go off book, it will trigger a gong around the world, with an avalanche to follow for what’s being primed as a tentpole with hundreds of millions of dollars at stake. Exhibit A proof that Snow White was doomed was when Disney pushed the pic’s release an entire year; the pic originally scheduled to hit marquees on March 22, 2024.



Disney’s live-action take on Snow White has come in with a global launch of $87.3M. From 51 material international box office markets, the update of the classic 1937 animation grossed an estimated $44.3M. Both domestic and overseas returns are below pre-weekend projections.

In like-for-like offshore markets at today’s rates (and excluding China), the bow is 16% below Cinderella, 19% under Dumbo and 33% off of The Little Mermaid.

The Rachel Zegler-starrer opened as the No. 1 or No. 1 non-local title in the majority of major overseas markets as well as all smaller ones. Across Europe, Snow White’s debut was just 6% below Cinderella in like-for-like markets at current rates. Throughout Latin America, it was No. 1 in every market.

There’s runway ahead for the movie to play into holidays, but the opening begs the question: What’s up, Doc? The $50M+ hoped for overseas ahead of the launch didn’t materialize in part because audiences didn’t feel a sense of urgency (note that it’s unlikely any of the so-called controversy surrounding the film played a role). And, Asia was challenging. Although Snow White opened at No. 1 non-local pretty much across the board in the region, it was the No. 2 non-local title in China, Korea and Japan. China and Korea were not anticipated to put up big numbers. But Japan is typically more bullish on this kind of fare.

Here are the Top 5 opening markets: UK ($5.1M), Mexico ($4.1M), Italy ($4M), France ($3M) and Spain ($2.6M).

Is there data how it opened in Israel? Gal Gadot is a huge draw, but Rachel is not.
 
270m is the figure Disney is willing to admit, even though the movie spent 2 years in reshoots. Then there's a marketing expenses which is another 100 to 150 million easy. The 87m box office so far is before the theaters take their cut, which is usually 50%.

So yeah, the biggest bombs of bombs. Don't worry, they'll just jack up the prices in their parks again to make up for the deficit.

Yup. $270M production budget by end of 2023 without any 2024 reshoots or marketing. Article from Nov 2024:


Disney has revealed that the cost of making its live action remake of Snow White had ballooned to $269.4 million (£217.7 million) by the end of 2023 putting the movie on course to blow its budget more than a year before it is released.

Disney has been making all of their Marvel/Star Wars/Live Action Remakes in the UK because of a ridiculously generous 25% government reimbursement on all movies made in the UK. So a $240 million movie actually costs Disney "just" $160 million.


Budgets of movies and streaming shows are usually confidential as studios combine the cost of them in their overall expenses and don't itemize how much they spent on each one. As we have reported extensively, productions made in the UK are an exception. Studios have to set up separate companies to make each one and get a cash reimbursement of up to 25% of the money they spend in the UK. Each company has to file financial statements and they shine a spotlight on the spending. Disney is filming increasingly more content in the UK to take advantage of this incentive.

From Wikipedia:

Filming for Snow White was originally set to begin in March 2020 in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Los Angeles, California, but it was delayed to July 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In August 2021, it was announced that filming would take place in the United Kingdom] from March to July 2022. Principal photography began on March 7, 2022. A fire damaged the production set on March 15 at Pinewood Studios; the stage was under construction when a tree reportedly caught on fire, leading to a huge blaze. A source from Disney confirmed that "no filming was underway". The shooting schedule was also reconfigured for Zegler to travel to Los Angeles to present at the 94th Academy Awards ceremony on March 27, in support of her West Side Story colleagues. While Zegler was attending the ceremony, Gadot began filming her scenes. Unlike in the original, her character sings and dances in the film. On April 22, Gadot confirmed that she had completed filming her scenes, much later adding that she enjoyed playing the role of the first Disney villain and that she was able to make a more dramatic role by changing her voice due to the film being a musical. On July 13, Zegler revealed that filming had wrapped. Additional filming took place in June 2024. Mandy Moore, known for her work on La La Land, choreographed the musical sequences.

She run a train on those dwarves or something? How does any actor shine through a shit script and direction? The director of like 3 B B B Bilion dollar films, mind you.

She's pretty much the biggest douche in Hollywood right now, but she has a great singing voice. That's all I can think of. From what I've heard, every single theatrical movie she's been in has bombed. I only know about Westside Story, Y2K, and this.
 

It's officially a bomba

Disney never updated the budget of the movie but with reshoots over the original $270M budget not including marketing this one is going to be a financial disaster for them. It's been speculated actual costs for the movie might have exceed $400M by the day of release

Her only movie that did well financially vs budget and got decent RT tomato scores was a Hunger Games movie.

The rest of her movies fail miserably vs budget. And only one got great reviews - Westside Story which still bombed in terms of money. Even Steven Spielberg couldnt muscle that movie to profits on name alone.

One part of her failures can definitely be attributed to her being unlikable, but to be fair one part on the studio from blowing budgets. If she only got paid $3M for Snow White (one of the earlier posts), she probably got paid even less for her other movies years back. So on a pure dollar level, she's actually a bargain since she isnt a $10M or $20M kind of hollywood star.

No doubt after reshoots and marketing this movie will be $400M or so.

So assuming theatres take 50%, this movie will need $800M global sales to break even (excluding any other bonus revenue like DVD/BR, streaming etc...)

Good luck with that. lol
