I forgot that Snow White came out this year...
You know it's been a really bad year for Hollywood when Snow White is still in 20th place in the 4th Quarter.
Demon Slayer Japan Animation 2025 is holding Fourth Place
One Battle After Another, a Flop, has the number 1 spot
On Worldwide box office the Chinese film is still Top while Disney’s Snow White is still at 20th place

$80 Million PB. Needs $200 Million to break even.
Has $119 Million after 8 days, which will probably be $130 Million by Sunday with the domestic numbers added after the weekend is done.
I have no idea if the international total is up to date or not since I wasn't following, so I can't say for sure if it will make it or not.
Not really going to be a money maker if it does manage to break even though.
Margot Robbie is just about finished in Hollywood. She's already hit the wall, and she's not a good actress. She's really just a dollar store clone of Jamie Pressly, but worse at acting and probably a lot less fun to be around IRL.

It did worse than I thought it would in the US this weekend with larger than I expected drops for Sat/Sun based off of Friday's drop. Not by much though... just a few million.
Worldwide totals had not been updated either, so now the new worldwide total after 10 days is $151 Million. So they got around $22-$23 Million for all last week and the weekend internationally. They had a 57% drop on 2nd weekend here in the US, which if it matches the following 4 days, they will have around another $3.0-$3.5 Million US by next weekend. Assuming another 57% drop over next weekend, that would be around another $6 Million for Weekend 3. All in all, about $10 Million more US by next Sunday.
I don't know what the international drops are, so let's call it 55% for now. That would be around another $10-$12 Million international for the same week. (or day 17).
Now we're at $171-$173 Million worldwide by Day 17.
No reason to think it would keep anything better than 60% weekly drops from there.
End of Weekend 4 Worldwide: Around $180 Million by Day 24.
End of Weekend 5: Around $185 Million by Day 31.
End of Weekend 6: Around $188 Million by Day 38.
End of Weekend 7: Around $190 Million by Day 45.
At this point, I would expect it to be yanked from theaters since WB's current model seems to be only 45 day theater exclusivity and if a movie isn't still making money in theaters at that point they tend to just exit from the theaters entirely.
My guess right now is that this doesn't make $200 Million and break even. I think I'm being pretty generous with these numbers, but since I don't know the true state of the international numbers I'm doing that to give myself some padding here.

Production budget: $63 Million.
Keep putting the talentless DEI-hire Nia DeCosta in charge of movies and see where it gets you, Hollywood.
Congratulations. You killed another franchise, just like I said you would when this was announced.
