2025-03-24T07:06:09-07:00'Snow White' Has an Unimpressive Debut
The new remake of the Disney classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs sold enough tickets to lead the box office race in its opening weekend, but its debut was not impressive, even on the relatively modest scale of Disney live-action remakes. Whether or not the movie can eventually turn on a profit on its quarter-billion-dollar production budget remains to be seen, but the prospect is not totally out of the question. Read on for details.
Via Variety.
“Snow White” may be the fairest of them all with a leading $43 million in its domestic box office debut, but Disney’s latest live-action remake is off to a sleepy start.
Overseas, “Snow White” also opened slightly behind projections with $44.3 million for a global launch of $87.3 million. Heading into the weekend, the film was estimated to collect $100 million globally.
“Snow White” arrived in theaters dogged with controversies, including criticism about the film’s depiction of the seven dwarves, complaints about changes to the nearly 100-year-old story and calls for boycotts because of co-stars Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot’s public stances on the Israel-Hamas war. There were also expensive reshoots, which added many millions to the film’s budget. Disney as a result scaled back the movie’s Los Angeles premiere, doing without traditional red carpet interviews. However, analysts don’t believe the deluge of bad publicity actually factored into ticket sales.
“This is a situation that is never ideal,” says senior Comscore analyst Paul Dergarabedian. “In the case of ‘Snow White,’ kids and families likely just wanted to see a PG film and [were] perhaps unaware of the controversies.”
Still, this cinematic take on the 1937 animated classic has notched the lowest domestic debut to date for Disney’s various reimaginings, below even 2019’s “Dumbo” which took flight with $45 million (without adjusting for inflation).

2025-03-17T07:47:29-07:00Early Reactions to 'Snow White' are Overwhelmingly Positive
Online trolls have been working hard to set up a backlash against Disney's new live-action remake of Snow White, but reactions to the film's premiere suggest that they're going to have a hard task in front of them. Critics and fans who have seen the movie, which hits theaters this weekend, have had an overall positive reaction, and that may be enough to overcome the negative noise surrounding the film. Read on for details.
Via The Hollywood Reporter.
The Snow White backlash brigade isn’t going to like this.
On Saturday, Disney held the Los Angeles premiere of its live-action re-imagining of Snow White and the first reactions from the screening are that the film, starring Rachel Zegler as the titular fairy tale character and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, is “actually mostly successful,” according to one viewer while several are praising Zegler, with one critic calling her “stunning” despite the raging online controversy over the title.
Premiere reactions tend to come from fan bloggers and influencers and typically skew more positive than formal critic reviews — of which Snow White has had suspiciously few, so far. Nevertheless, initial responses following the L.A. premiere have been enthusiastic, if also sounding markedly surprised.
“Despite becoming an internet punching bag, Disney’s remake of Snow White is actually mostly successful!” wrote Matt DeGroot of Crooked Media. “Rachel Zegler is an absolute star, (most of) the new songs are catchy and beautifully performed, and the visual palette is sumptuous and vibrant. Gal Gadot had beautiful gowns… It’s a solid 3.5/5. Cinderella is my favorite of the remakes, but I would put this on par with [The] Little Mermaid in the next tier of my rankings with the rest below.”
Paul Klein of Film Hound magazine wrote a similar take to DeGroot: “I may regret saying this but #SnowWhite is solid. I really enjoyed the musical numbers, particularly the opening one and the Queen’s evil bop. Zegler was great in the lead role, and Gadot was fun. It’s really the CGI dwarves that let the film down. The choice is baffling.”
Elsewhere, Christopher Mills of Christopher Rates It agreed in his weekend post on X.com following the screening. “The biggest surprise of 2025 is that the most ‘controversial’ and hated film of the year is actually a decent live-action movie,” he wrote on the platform. “#SnowWhite is not only one of their best live-action remakes, but it’s also a movie that recaptures the magic of the 1937 movie. Rachel Zegler IS Snow White, and she delivers a magical performance. The musical numbers are unforgettable, the visuals (not the uncanny dwarfs) are enchanting, and Erin Cressida Wilson’s screenplay provides depth to this world that I didn’t know was needed.”
