Rachel Zegler thought Snow White would be great, turned out to be a major flop

Rachel Zegler is being called 'insufferable' after Snow White completely flopped in theaters. The 2025 live-action Snow White remake starring Rachel Zegler has underperformed at the box office and is widely considered a commercial disappointment, though the term "flop" can depend on context. Here's a breakdown based on available information:

Box Office Performance: The film grossed approximately $181 million worldwide ($81 million domestic, $99 million international) after three weeks in theaters. With a reported production budget of $240–270 million (excluding marketing costs estimated at $100 million), the movie needed to earn roughly $500–625 million globally to break even. Projections suggest it will fall far short, with estimates of a final global total around $225 million, leading to an expected loss of $115 million after all revenue streams (theatrical, home entertainment, streaming, etc.).

Opening Weekend and Trends: Snow White opened with $42.2 million domestically and $86.1 million globally, below pre-release projections of $45–70 million for the domestic opening. It saw a steep 66% drop in its second weekend, signaling weak audience retention. By its fourth weekend, it was projected to earn just $2.8 million domestically, falling to No. 8 on the charts.

Comparison to Other Disney Remakes: The film’s performance is among the weakest for Disney’s live-action remakes. For context, The Little Mermaid (2023) earned $569 million globally on a similar $240 million budget, while Beauty and the Beast (2017) and Aladdin (2019) exceeded $1 billion. Snow White also failed to surpass the inflation-adjusted $418 million gross of the 1937 animated original, a milestone most Disney remakes achieve. It’s outperformed only by Mulan (2020, $69.9 million) among recent remakes
