“Snow White” Box Office Opening: $43 Million Domestic, Below Disney Remake Expectations
Disney’s live-action “Snow White” debuted with $43 million at the domestic box office and $87.3 million globally, falling short of the studio’s typical performance for its live-action adaptations of animated classics. The film, which carried a substantial $270 million budget, opened on par with 2019’s “Dumbo” ($46 million) but significantly trailed behind other Disney remakes such as “The Little Mermaid” ($95.5 million), “Maleficent” ($69.4 million), and “Cinderella” ($67.8 million).

The opening weekend figures raise questions about the film’s potential to recoup its large production costs, as it faces competition from other releases and will need strong sustained performance both domestically and internationally. The film’s performance will likely be closely watched in the coming weeks to determine its overall financial success.
It’s worth noting that the original animated “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” released in 1937, was a groundbreaking cinematic achievement and a massive box-office success for its time. That film’s cultural impact and enduring popularity have set a high bar for any subsequent adaptation. The stark contrast in the initial box office performance between the 1937 animated film and this new live-action version highlights the evolving landscape of filmmaking and audience expectations, as well as the inherent challenges in reimagining such a beloved classic.
