Sun Mar 30 16:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Statham’s “A Working Man” Knocks “Snow White” Off Box Office Throne

**LOS ANGELES** – Jason Statham’s action thriller, “A Working Man,” scored a surprise box office victory this weekend, earning $15.2 million and dethroning Disney’s “Snow White” from the top spot. The David Ayer-directed film, a collaboration between Amazon and MGM, exceeded expectations, despite receiving mixed reviews (a “B” CinemaScore). Statham plays a veteran forced back into action after a kidnapping.

Disney’s “Snow White,” which debuted with $45 million last week, experienced a significant 66% drop, earning only $14.2 million this weekend and settling into second place. While the film starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot has already grossed $66.8 million domestically and $143.1 million worldwide, its $250 million-plus production budget (excluding marketing) means it needs stronger legs at the box office to become profitable. The film faces further competition next weekend with the release of Warner Bros.’ “A Minecraft Movie.”

The weekend saw several other new releases, but none achieved major success. “The Chosen: Last Supper,” a faith-based film, opened strongly in third place with $11.5 million. Horror films “The Woman in the Yard” ($9.4 million) and “Death of a Unicorn” ($5.8 million) debuted in fourth and fifth place respectively, but received generally poor critical and audience reception.

Overall, box office revenue remains sluggish, currently lagging 10.9% behind 2024 levels and a significant 39% behind 2019 figures, according to Comscore. The underperformance highlights the ongoing challenges facing the film industry. While “A Working Man” offers a glimmer of hope, the industry awaits to see if the film can maintain its momentum.
