Disney has made many successful live-action adaptations, butSnow Whitewas not one of them. Even before the movie’s release,the 2025 adaptation faced several controversies, which included the depiction of the seven dwarfs and divided opinions of the leading starsRachel Zeglerand Gal Gadot. On top of rumors of an inflated budget, the chances of any success, critically and commercially, were looking slim. This was exemplified by the intense backlash,which led to a review bombing on IMDb. At the time of writing, the film holds a 1.6 out of 10-star rating on that site.
Unfortunately, the negative reviewshave also translated into poor box office performance, opening to $42.2 million domestically. While this positioned it in the no. 1 spot for the weekend, it fell significantly behind otherlive-action Disney princess adaptations. 2015’sCinderellaopened to $67.8 million and 2023’sThe Little Mermaidbrought in a $95.5 million opening. Despite its slow start,Snow Whitehas passed another box office milestone, but it may not be enough.
Snow White Has Crossed $200 Million
Only Four Movies Have Gotten That Total This Year So Far
After being in theaters for six full weekends,Snow Whitehas now crossed a major milestone at the global box office. It faced significant competition during that time, including the family-oriented video game adaptationA Minecraft Movie. UnlikeSnow White,A Minecraft Moviehas stayed in the top 5 at the domestic box officeevery weekend of its release so far. The Disney live-action remake fell out of the top 5 after three weekends in theaters, sinking to the no. 8 slot on the weekend of April 11 to 13.
PerBox Office Mojo,Snow Whitehas now passed a box office milestone,officially making over $200 million worldwide. This total comprises an $85.7 million domestic gross and $114.4 million from overseas markets. Unfortunately, the milestone barely covers much of the budget, which is reported to be between $240-270 million.
What This Means For Snow White
The Movie Is Still Bound To Lose Money
The $200 million mark is significant, as it is a threshold that has only been crossed by four films in 2025 so far. That said, it still falls short of the budget. At this rate, it’s unlikely to reach the break-even point, as the summer slate is just around the corner. With films typically needing about 2x to 2.5x their budget to break even, it seems inevitable thatSnow Whitewill not only lose money, but by the end of its run, it will have lost Disney hundreds of millions of dollars.
