Disney’s Snow White Reboot Stumbles at the Box Office
A Modern Twist on a Classic Tale
Disney’s live-action Snow White, starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, hit theaters this weekend with high hopes—but the numbers tell a different story. The remake, which reimagines the 1937 classic with modern themes and diverse casting, opened to a softer-than-expected $45 million in the U.S.
Mixed Reviews from Critics and Fans
Reviews are all over the place. While some praised Zegler’s refreshing take on Snow White, others said the film lacked the heart of the original. On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie holds a lukewarm 47% critic score.
Public Visionary
Controversy Clouds the Launch
The film hasn’t escaped drama. The use of CGI dwarfs instead of actors with dwarfism sparked backlash, and casting Zegler in the lead role drew online debates about representation.
Gal Gadot Steals the Spotlight
One thing most fans agree on? Gal Gadot absolutely slays as the Evil Queen—serving major villain vibes and fashion goals.
Will It Bounce Back?
Despite a slow start, Snow White still leads the weekend box office. Only time will tell if audiences grow to love this reimagined fairy tale—or leave it in the forest.
