Snow White remake has mediocre opening day

Disney
  • Disney's live-action Snow White remake had a mediocre opening day, pulling in US$16 million in Friday and preview screenings for a projected $45m opening weekend.
  • It falls significantly short of The Little Mermaid's $95m opening, raising concerns about profitability given its $250m production budget.
  • Snow White has faced controversy over casting and plot changes, with star Rachel Zegler defending updates to the original story and the portrayal of the dwarfs.
  • The film also received mixed reviews, and Disney limited press access to the premiere.
  • Robert De Niro's The Alto Knights flopped with a $1.17 million opening day and is projected to be one of the year's biggest film failures.
