Thu Feb 20 06:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Disney’s “Snow White” Faces Box Office Uncertainty Despite New Trailer
**Los Angeles, CA** – Disney has released a new trailer for its live-action remake of “Snow White,” showcasing Rachel Zegler as the titular princess and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, along with the seven dwarfs, whose depiction has sparked controversy. The film, directed by Marc Webb, features original songs by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul and is slated for release on March 21st.
Early box office tracking suggests a disappointing opening weekend of $63 million to $70 million, raising concerns given the film’s reported $250 million budget. This projection, though not disastrous in isolation, falls short of expectations for a Disney live-action remake. The film’s financial prospects are further complicated by pre-release controversies surrounding the portrayal of the seven dwarfs, with Disney opting for a non-traditional approach to avoid perpetuating stereotypes.
The controversy began when actor Peter Dinklage criticized the remake, prompting a Disney statement explaining their efforts to consult with the dwarfism community. Despite the controversy and box office uncertainty, Disney is proceeding with the theatrical release, hoping the film’s marketing and positive critical response will boost the opening weekend numbers. The film’s ultimate success remains to be seen.
