I knew they would not disappoint.
And not one, but two blow-jobs disguising themselves as journalism from our reality deniers at Collider.

"Ooooh! Big number! Lots of zeros! More money than me ever gonna see!"
The movie cost $270 Million to make. If a movie comes close and doesn't break even worldwide on the production budget, it's a coinflip that it will fail.
If a movie makes less than 80% of the production budget worldwide on opening weekend, than it's had a 100% failure rate since January of 2023 with the lone exception of the animated flick Migration in December of '23. And with only $3.7 Million on the 2nd Friday, those chances for Snow White are nil.
You've barely made 1/3rd of the production budget in 8 days. Any "milestones" here are made up by idiots for idiots. This movie loses quarter to half a Billion for Disney by the time it is done. and that's with the $270 Million lie of a budget. Let's check back in a year from now and see what Bruce upped that number to like he's already done with The Marvels after everyone stopped paying attention.

Snow White, Rachel Zegler and a toxic debate that's not going away
March 29, 2025

Victoria Luxford says criticism of the original film "was never going to work out well. These films are marketed on nostalgia, on making you feel like you did when you saw the original, so to speak of it negatively seemed puzzling".
Zegler stoked controversy with her views after the 2024 US presidential election. Writing on Instagram, she said she hoped "Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace".
Some commend her for speaking her mind. Ehenulo says that she is "not the first and certainly not the last actor to be speaking about politics".
Luxford told me she was "hard-pressed" to imagine the film's core audience, children under 10, being swayed by her politics.
(I saw this movie as a 10-year-old on TV. It was a lame-ass piece of crap even in the 1960's. The 2025 version is much better. Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs (2019) is better than either because it does not have all the singing. Get it for free: https://yts.mx/movies/red-shoes-and-the-seven-dwarfs-2019 )

Maybe Disney needs to hire DOGE then.

It was lame. So was Cinderella. They weren't made for us, even when we were kids. They were cartoons made for little girls.

Following Deadline’s projection of $20 million for its second Friday-Sunday frame — a 53% drop in business from its opening weekend — the trade publication is now estimating the film will take in only $13.7 million from 4,200 theaters in its second weekend for a No. 2 finish.
The projected weekend tally marks a 68% drop in Snow White’s opening weekend box office.
With Snow White’s box office freefall in its second weekend, Amazon MGM’s action thriller A Working Man is projected to seize the box office crown from the live-action Disney princess movie.
Freefall from what though?
Under the best circumstances, the $43 Million opening weekend and sub-$100 Million worldwide number already doomed this to losing hundreds of millions in the first place.
This movie started at the bottom of a big hole. All we're doing now is filling it in.

$14,200,000, or a 66% drop, and a 2nd place finish to a Jason Stathem movie.
$143,114,583 worldwide after 10 days. It just barely has in 10 days half of what it would have needed in 3 days to break even.
Pathetic. This movie is toast.

We weren’t expecting a great second weekend for Snow White, but its performance this weekend is shockingly poor for a family film, with Disney projecting a 66% decline from its already lackluster debut. A Working Man has, in comparison, had an excellent run through the weekend to grab a surprise top spot on the box office chart.
No, Bruce. It was not a family film.
It was just another in a long line of alt-left agenda and propaganda disguised as one.
The last gasp of a dying DEI arm of Hollywood.
Good riddance. We will piss on your grave.

Disney’s “Snow White” Remake Whistles But Doesn’t Work
By Justin Chang | March 22, 2025

e-remake-whistles-but-doesnt-work
Nothing good ever seems to come of Gal Gadot singing. Those of us with clear memories of March, 2020, during the early days of pandemic lockdown, may recall the video montage she beamed out of herself and other celebrities, all warbling John Lennon’s “Imagine.” It was meant to bring us together, and on that score it was a total success. Amid a crisis of mass illness, unemployment, poverty, and death, the internet users of the world—suddenly faced with an off-key medley of hope, performed by famous people sheltering in multimillion-dollar hideaways—found themselves united in pure, unmitigated hatred. Only a few days into quarantine, a loathsome instant classic of Hollywood vacuity had been born.
Now, five years later, Gadot is singing a new tune, and how. She doesn’t warble; she belts, or at least makes a valiant attempt. Her backdrop is not a mansion but a palace, where she descends a Vegas-ready grand staircase, with bewimpled ladies-in-waiting as backup dancers. And what she sings is not a song of hope but an anthem of fascist aggression: “All is fair when you wear the crown / A little perk that your power provides / If they dare speak up, swat them down / She, with the diamonds, decides.” Here it may be worth noting that Gadot delivers this performance in the new film “Snow White,” Disney’s live-action remake of its own 1937 animated masterwork, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” She plays the Evil Queen (“She. Was. Evil!” a narrator helpfully intones), which accounts for the severity of Gadot’s royal regalia: a black balaclava-style hood, a glittering cloak, and an enormous stained-glass crown so sharp and spiky that Her Majesty might have run headfirst through a cathedral window.
Gadot has worn ridiculous things before, notably and delightfully as Wonder Woman in various DC Comics movies, but then the role of Diana Prince was particularly well tailored to her charisma and behind-the-beat comic timing. In “Wonder Woman” (2017), as a demigoddess encountering the oddity of the human world for the first time, Gadot projected a pleasurable fish-out-of-water disorientation—a disarming mix of courage and naïveté. But, in “Snow White,” she must embody exactly the opposite, and the strain is immense. Tasked with reinterpreting one of the most frightening and emblematic villains in the Disney canon, Gadot evinces no feel for malevolent cunning, or even knowing cynicism; smacked down repeatedly by her Magic Mirror, she can barely conjure a decently icy glare in response. The great Jean Marsh, who gave us such blood-freezing villainy in “Return to Oz” (1985) and “Willow” (1988), makes Gadot’s Evil Queen look like the mushiest of poisoned apples.
Snow White herself does offer something of an antidote. She is played by Rachel Zegler, who, from the moment she appears, wearing scullery rags and a smile, reveals a winning calibration of radiant innocence and underdog conviction. Although Snow White has lost her parents and finds herself at her stepmother’s unreliable mercy, she hasn’t abandoned hope; she’s “waiting on a wish,” to quote the most tuneful of several new songs, written by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. The Snow White of 1937, voiced by the opera singer Adriana Caselotti, leaned over a well and sang, “I’m wishing,” with sublime, lilting simplicity; Snow White 2025, by contrast, must dart hither and yon, across seemingly half the castle grounds, as she croons her way through a breath-sapping manifesto of self-empowerment.
And, against considerable odds, Zegler sells every word. She has the gift, rarer than it seems, of not only singing well but also acting well as she sings; her pipes are as potent, and her nerves as steely, as they were when she made her sterling film début, as Maria, in Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story” (2021). One day, Zegler may well tire of headlining faintly sacrilegious rem

Almost 2PM CST on Tuesday and still no Monday numbers for either of Disney's flops.
Must have been pretty bad.
