Yeah, I'm sure Disney is tickled pink about this box office.

I was just about to post the numbers before I saw your post. For comparison, The Little Mermaid pulled in almost $100 million last year on its opening weekend, not including Memorial Day itself.


The movie released in March didn't make as much money as the one released Memorial Day weekend? How odd.

Disney knew this thing wouldn't have legs. That's why it got dumped in March, and didn't clog their roll out of Thunderbolts, Lilo & Stich, Fantastic 4, Zootopia 2, and Avatar 3 coming up soon.

yeah, there are some stinkers on the schedule - Freakier Friday is probably terrible, and I'd rather let all 7 CGI dwarves punch me in the face then watch Jared Leto do whatever the hell he's going to do in Tron:Ares, but it's silly to think Disney isn't pleased as punch that $43 million worth of Mouse slaves showed up despite all of the vitriol towards whatever the girl said that's so bad.


You should look up how many $ worth of Mouse slaves they used on this one as well as how delayed the release was to project start.

I would, but I don't care.

I do find it a little amusing that of all the complaints on this thread about politics, beliefs, DEI, etc. none of those things are actually relevant to the movie itself.

It's just an average movie. I also don't think most of the country is aware of the drama surrounding the movie either

Yea I agree most of the country isn't aware. I'm guessing here, but I think that when they started previewing it with the CGI dwarves that turned a lot of interest in the movie off. I just don't think that that is going to move the needle for a "live" action remake.

Agreed, I had to summarize Zegler's actions to my wife as she was blissfully unaware.

I, along with everybody other than the cast and their families, have not watched this movie. However, based on what I have read and seen in the trailers, their politics has ruined the story. They didn't take the same story and just plug in a woke actress to play the part and say the same lines.

I took the kids (girls) to see it and they liked it. Not sure what was woke about it, but I'm also not a Snow White super-fan so I have no context to compare it with. The movie itself was just fine, not really memorable. It had big theatre kid energy for whatever that's worth. But I don't think it would be possible to make any version of Snow White that would be interesting to me, woke or anti-woke, since I'm just not the target audience.

Well you'd be wrong. It's a pretty standard retelling substituting a rogue outlaw robin hood figure for the Prince.

Some people see the woke boogeyman everywhere they look. Just like others see racism at every turn.

Two sides of the same coin.

Porkchop, for as much words as you've blathered about box office, I'd expect you to know better.

Beauty and the Beast, Alice in Wonderland, and Cinderella live actions were all released in March, and certainly weren't dumps. It's the Disney playbook to put these things on Spring Break.

Then they must have changed it drastically from what the lead said it was going to be about.

Hollywood was ALWAYS liberal. But Meryl Streep and Susan Sarandon weren't advocating for the absolutely f-ing insane sh** your party embraces today.
"My party"

Herein lies the problem with you F16ers.

I've never voted anything other than R in my life, and have voted consistently for 20 years.

You go on diatribes assuming anyone who can't separate 2 things is voting for a party that's not yours.

You would be incorrect.

Some of us, however, can separate politics from Entertainment, and could say that just because an actress has opinions you don't like doesn't mean total cancellation.

Please, opine more on what "my party" means, though. Bc blah blah blah diatribes, without actually reading anything, on something you didn't care to actually read in the first place…

And just like YOU shouldn't be canceled for your online diatribes, neither should an actress.

NO ONE IS "CANCELLING" HER.

Not going to see a movie because an actress goes on stupid political rants about the original story/essence of the film is not "cancelling" anyone.

Sorry I assumed you were a lib, you genuinely came across as one to me. It's usually libs who get all emotional and offended when we talk about the crazy politics of Hollywood. Hollywood actors/actresses/producers/directors can constantly FLOOD the industry with politics...but WE are the ones injecting politics into entertainmnent by internet-discussing this phenomenon. Yeah, it's usually leftists/dems making that silly argument.

everything I have heard is that Gal Gadot is an awesome human being and treats people well.


I doubt Vin Diesel puts up with much @#$@# and he is publicly praising Gadot as amongst the best people he has ever known:

Word on the streets is that this is being VERY polite.

I am honestly kind of surprised at how many men on here are up in arms over people not seeing this because the lead actress has basically bashed the original story and the constructs within it. Why does it have to be exclusively about the actual movie itself, which I heard sucks and looks putrid from the clips I have seen? An awful lot of people are simply turned off by hyper-woke ignorant feminists like the lead actress.

Why can't people refuse to see it or criticize it because the ignorant outspoken doofus they cast as lead role keeps openly bashing the original story (which is what most people love and the reason they would ever want a remake to begin with)?

Yep, I did the same...as everyone in this household has enjoyed OG snow white on numerous occasions and otherwise would look fwd to seeing this. I read her some of the actresses statements a while back and my wife now thinks she's stupid, even though she has no clue who she is and had never seen or heard of her.

This is the bigger point: her role in this movie is the springboard for her voice. They're inseparable; otherwise she'd just be some rando on X screaming into the void. You simply can't de-link the two when she talks about the new vision of the tale and how it fits into her worldview. I know that's really disappointing for those who want movies to stand alone, but that's not the world we live in anymore (unless we're going to revisit all the comments about Sound of Freedom and Tim Ballard, but I don't think anyone wants that).

I am sure the people flabbergasted by this concept would remain 100% consistent if a white male actor came out with some racist/white supremacist statements just before his movie came out. "Look, just ignore everything he said about white's being supreme, you mustn't let that impact whether you want to see the movie or not! You cannot let anything but an actual movie itself impact your desire to see that movie, and you certainly cannot engage in discourse about it if you haven't seen it because you will offend some of us!" LOL.

Only this has the added element of actually bashing the original story, which is beloived by many, of all ages. My 90 y/o grandmother loves original Snow White and so does my 4 y/o.

And no, I am not equating her ignorant tripe to racist rhetoric...just making the point that an actor's words or actions can certainly impact peoples' views/opinions of a movie or whether it is worthy of a viewing or not.

Word on the street seems to be based on opinions by people who haven't actually seen the movie. By my count a total 4 people on this thread have seen it and have all come to the same conclusion. A pretty average movie with nothing terribly offensive or political about it.

Let put a pin in this thread until it's available on Disney+ so everyone can see it without having to spend extra money on it. Then we can call come back and give our opinions well-informed opinions

No, they keep responding and requesting more. It's exhausting, but it's a noble cause. If I can just change the mind of one brainwashed liberal male Joy Behar in my lifetime it will have all been worth it.

People of a certain sort. Who will do 20000 word diatribes on something they haven't seen.

It's not a great movie.

You've put a lot of words into talking about something you haven't seen- for political reasons. Aaaaand the product is not political.

(But you want it to be, because you're looking for a reason to be devisive.)

Was that the movie TCTTS and other Ent board hypocrites were bashing without seeing the flick because they didn't like Tim Ballard or something he had said or done?

Not sure who exactly this is aimed at, but 20 year old males are now MORE conservative than 75 year old males because the modern left became so out of touch and cringey. People like Bill Maher, Van Jones, and other prominent life long democrats with a voice are freaking out over how psycho the left has gone.

But yeah, I'm sure Rachel Zegler is the enlightened beacon of wisdom here, and those guys, and the rest of us responsible productive citizens with families, are wrong.
