Snow White leads a sleepy box office
The Disney remake upped box office totals compared to last week, but still proved not to be the fairest of them all.

Well, we finally have an answer to the question we asked earlier this month (and have been asking intermittently for over a year now): in the case of Snow White, is all press good press? The answer, seemingly, is no. The controversial Disney remake finally opened this weekend to $43 million domestic and $87.3 million worldwide. That’s not exactly the true love Disney hoped would be shown to the film, despite all the drama. The Rachel Zegler-led feature cost the Mouse House $270 million to produce, per Deadline, which will be difficult to make much of a profit on at this rate. Maybe the movie would have fared better if the studio had spent a bit more of that budget making those CGI dwarves anything other than horrifying.
