Disney’s live-action Snow White remake, featuring Rachel Zegler as the iconic heroine, opened to disappointing box office returns, which sparked an outpouring of online criticism targeting the actress.
Box Office Performance Falls Short
The movie debuted with a domestic box office of $43 million at a high production cost of around $250 million. Overseas, it added $44.3 million to its coffers, taking the global figure to $87.3 million. Both these amounts were below industry expectations and were one of the disappointing openings of Disney’s recent live-action remakes.
Online Criticism Targets Zegler
With the poor box office performance of the film, Rachel Zegler was the subject of online ridicule. The critics emphasized the mismatch between the high cost of production of the film and its small returns, with some pundits commenting sardonically, “Welcome back to reality, princess.”
Controversies Surrounding the Film
The remake was embroiled in controversy prior to its release. There were talks of casting Zegler, who is of Polish and Colombian descent, as Snow WhiteтАФa character commonly played with white skin. The film also received criticism for its depiction of the seven dwarfs, with fears over perpetuating stereotypes. Such debates perhaps already had an impact on the audience perspective and led to the underperformance of the film.
Critical Reception
Critics’ reviews of the movie were mixed. Although some complimented Zegler, others lambasted the film for not being as charming as the original 1937 animated movie. The movie has a 43% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, reflecting mixed reactions from critics.
Implications for Disney’s Live-Action Strategy
The tepid response to Snow White raises questions about DisneyтАЩs approach to live-action remakes of its animated classics. While some adaptations have achieved commercial success, others, like this one, highlight the challenges of reimagining beloved stories for contemporary audiences. The studio may need to reassess its strategies to balance nostalgia with innovation in future projects. я┐╝
As the movie continues to run in theaters, only time will tell if Snow White can rebound from its disappointing opening and speak more powerfully to audiences across the globe.
