The entire point of Hollywood has always been, even in the days of silent movies, to separate stupid people from their money. That is what the American dream factory does. Make money. When you can watch the dreams for free on TV, assuming you learned that dreams are NOT worth buying, the dream factory makes less money. Too bad, so sad, for Hollywood, but it has known for decades that eventually the magic trick of converting empty entertainment into cash would falter and malfunction.
P.S. There is an entire show trying to make money off of that insight. The Studio "Follows a legacy Hollywood movie studio striving to survive in a world where it is increasingly difficult for art and business to live together." https://psa.wf/tv-show/the-studio/

Disney’s “Snow White” Remake Whistles But Doesn’t 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 encounteringNOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME
The “Snow White” Controversy, Like Our Zeitgeist, Is Both Stupid and Sinister
Placing the failure of the live-action remake largely at Rachel Zegler’s feet is almost perversely flattering to her.
By Jessica Winter | April 1, 2025

like-our-zeitgeist-is-both-stupid-and-sinister
Why has Disney’s new live-action remake of “Snow White” flopped at the box office? Is it because the dull trailer looked A.I.-generated, or because the film’s stars, Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, appear to have sourced their costumes and makeup from Party City? Is it because the film personifies Hollywood’s status as a bottle-and-can redemption center for moldering I.P.? Is it for being a movie nobody asked for, about a princess who falls asleep?
The prospect of the “Snow White” reboot has been irritating various constituencies for some time. Conservative critics griped that Zegler, who is partly of Colombian descent, wasn’t white (these kinds of complaints were louder a few years back, when the Black actress Halle Bailey was cast in Disney’s live-action “Little Mermaid”). Some were offended that Zegler talked trash about the 1937 original. The actor Peter Dinklage questioned why the story was being dusted off at all. “You’re progressive in one way,” Dinklage said, referring to Zegler’s casting, “but you’re still making that fucking backward story about seven dwarves living in a cave—what the fuck are you doing?”
At some point, Disney started asking itself the same question. Despite the film’s two-hundred-and-seventy-million-dollar budget, the studio scaled back the première and promotional blitz and may have delayed making tickets available for pre-order. Currently, on IMDb, “Snow White” is being “review-bombed,” with more than ninety-one per cent of users giving it the lowest rating: one out of ten.
Recent articles in Hollywood’s top industry broadsheets pin much of the blame on Zegler. The Hollywood Reporter observed that the movie “has been under fire for years on social media due to a combination of the film’s progressive creative decisions”—presumably referring to Zegler’s casting—“and star Rachel Zegler’s controversial comments.” In a Variety article, which promised to take readers “Inside Disney’s ‘Snow White’ Fiasco,” a “top agent” rebuked the studio for permitting the twenty-three-year-old actress to “control the narrative” by making a lighthearted quip to a reporter about the stalker-like qualities of the original movie’s Prince Florian. “The first time she shoots her mouth off, you nip it in the bud,” this agent said. (Incidentally, the screenwriter of the new “Snow White,” Erin Cressida Wilson, has said that she centered the character’s journey toward “discovering and trusting her own voice and her own purpose with compassion and strength.”)
Variety also zoomed in on an episode from August, shortly after a teaser for the movie dropped, when Zegler shared a message of gratitude to fans on X, adding, in a separate post, “and always remember, free palestine.” The article implied that Zegler’s post fuelled death threats against her co-star Gadot, who is Israeli. It also reported that one of the film’s producers, Marc Platt, was so incensed by Zegler’s pro-Palestine message that he flew to New York to admonish her in person about it.
The detail about Platt seemed to strain credulity, but it was later confirmed by his son Jonah, who wrote on Instagram, “Yeah, my dad, the producer of enormous piece of Disney IP with hundreds of millions of dollars on the line, had to leave his family to to fly across the country to reprimand his 20 year old employee for dragging her personal politics into the middle of promoting the movie for which she signed a multi-million dollar contract to get paid and do publicity for. This is called adult responsibility and accountability. And her actions clearly hurt the film’s box office.” The younger Platt may have also been alluding to an Instagram post that Zegler made following the November elections, in which she l

Mirror Mirror (2012) was another version of the Snow White fairy tale. It did not sell many tickets but Disney made their 2025 version in hopes that it would do better than the 2012 version. Didn’t work out.

Without looking at whatever liberal alt-left garbage you were posting here, I'm willing to put my prediction record up against any of theirs, any time, any day.
Because I'm better at their jobs than any of them are.
Keep on losing, loser. It's what you're really good at.

Don't know what to say about the slightly better weekday performance for Snow White this far other than the very weak box office. The Marvels was out when Disney's Wish was out, along with Wonka and if memory serves there was a bloated Aquaman corpse floating around at the same time.
The only competition Snow White has now is the Blacktain failure, and whatever Bobby Deniro bomb just came out.
But there you go buddy. Both in (alleged) production budget and first 5-day performance, they're pretty much the same movie.
That was the biggest MCU flop ever, and one of Disney's most expensive mistakes so far.
What was the supposed budget for The Marvels last time we were updated? Remember they were saying something like $145 Million and how it was fine if it didn't do very well because of how cheap it was compared to other MCU movies? I think the last time I remember getting an update on that it was $180 or $190 Million. Now Bruce has it down for $270 Million in 2025.
Funny that, innit?
And that's probably why you didn't think to compare Snow White to The Marvels. You were probably still under the impression that it cost a lot less to make than it actually did.
Awwwwwwwww...
Only $169,701,759 worldwide after 3 weekends and Cheap Seat Tuesday.... :(

James Cameron adjusting to a world where half of his theater audience stays home to watch his movies for free on TV:
James Cameron Says Blockbuster Movies Can Only Survive if We ‘Cut the Cost in Half’
Apr 9, 2025 2:22pm PT
https://variety.com/2025/film/news/james-cameron-blockbuster-movies-ai
-cut-costs-1236365081/
“And it’s not just hypothetical,” he continued. “If we want to continue to see the kinds of movies that I’ve always loved and that I like to make and that I will go to see — ‘Dune,’ ‘Dune: Part Two,’ or one of my films or big effects-heavy, CG-heavy films — we’ve got to figure out how to cut the cost of that in half. Now that’s not about laying off half the staff and at the effects company. That’s about doubling their speed to completion on a given shot, so your cadence is faster and your throughput cycle is faster, and artists get to move on and do other cool things and then other cool things, right? That’s my sort of vision for that.”

ETA: I just noticed now that Bruce puts the inflation adjustment on these comparison graphs. I just mentioned about 15 minutes ago in the 2025 thread that when inflation is calculated in, there is zero chance that Snow White beat The Marvels.
Unless Bruce finds about $6 or 7 Million more under the international couch cushions, the graph already proves that.
And I think the chances of that are very unlikely since Bruce already did that for around $2 Million just the other day when it was looking like Snow White wasn't even going to beat The Marvels without needing to adjust for inflation. It was still too far away to believe that it would hit $200 Million, but a sudden huge several-million $ bump got it just close enough to clinch it. I'm not going to call shenanigans by Disney here since I've seen this happen plenty of times before, but I will note that it was quite a significant bump at the tail end of a movie that made so little money and hasn't pulled in any real cash anywhere for weeks now.
The Marvels has made just shy of $2.9 Million more in the US after you do the inflation adjustment. And though Bruce doesn't do the inflation adjustment for international numbers, know that there is also close to $3.5 Million additional coming from that end, since 57.7% of the box office for The Marvels was international.
It just grossed $30k in the US on Wednesday. Not looking good.
