The live remake of Disney of “Snow White” – which was mired in the controversy on the comments of the star Rachel Zegler deriving Israel, Donald Trump and even the mouse house – should lose around $ 115 million, according to a report.
The film, which was created on March 21, won only $ 14.2 million at the national level during its second weekend – a drop of 66% – putting its total of $ 143.1 million worldwide.
Detailed forecasts suggest that the film will generate approximately $ 295 million in total income, including $ 101 million from world theatrical rentals, $ 62 million in home entertainment sales, $ 130 million in streaming and television dollars and an additional $ 2 million in the goods.
It will not cost $ 410 million it costs to make the film. The inflated costs included $ 270 million for production alone, widely led by production delays caused by industry strikes and a fire that broke out on the set of the film in the United Kingdom.
In addition, promotion fees, residual payments and various costs have contributed to an additional $ 140 million, sources said.
Zegler, who is of Colombian and Polish origin, was at the forefront of the counterou, both on Disney the cast to play the “fairer of all” and for a series of inflammatory comments.
After the presidential election last November, she posted on X: “F – K Donald Trump” and “that Trump supporters and Trump voters never know peace”.
These comments occurred three months after she woven in the War of Israel-Gaza by ending an article on X by writing, “and always remember, free Palestine”-a feeling that was not well known with its “Snow White” co-star Gal Gadot.
The Israeli actress had served in the FDI.
Zegler also torn Disney during a promotional interview for the film, referring to the classic animated as obsolete and in work with its romantic scenario.
“The original cartoon was released in 1937 and is very obvious,” she said. “There is a great accent on his love story with the guy who literally tracks her. Weird, bizarre.”
Zegler tried to start again his criticism from the film last week, calling for the opportunity to play Snow White “the honor of a life”.
But it seems that she will now have the honor of directing a Disney flop.
Box-office profits should be considerably lower than other recent live adaptations such as “Dumbo” and “The Little Mermaid”, which had also aroused a black actress to play Ariel.
“Dumbo”, directed by Tim Burton at a cost of $ 170 million, raised around $ 353 million worldwide. “The Little Mermaid” raised $ 569.6 million worldwide, against a budget of $ 250 million.
However, the two remakes were considered to be sub-performants compared to the $ 1.5 billion won by updates of “The Lion King” and the billion dollars by “Aladdin”.
The position contacted Disney to comment.
