'A Working Man' Subdues 'Snow White' With $15 Million Box Office Opening

03/30/2025 11:02 AM

Disney’s “Snow White” is sinking fast at the box office, so much so that Amazon MGM’s “A Working Man” has taken No. 1 from it this weekend with a $15.2 million opening from 3,262 theaters compared to a $14.2 million second weekend for the Rachel Zegler-starring remake.

Heading into the weekend, “Snow White” was projected for a second weekend of $16-18 million, with some optimistic projections topping out at $20 million. “A Working Man” was projected for $10-12 million.

Instead, “A Working Man” has nearly matched the $16 million opening of star Jason Statham’s last film, “The Beekeeper” in January 2024. As expected, the film skewed 60% male and, while getting mixed critical reviews, has earned mostly positive reception from audiences with a B on CinemaScore and an 84% overall positive rating on PostTrak.

The film will now try to match the $66.2 million domestic/$162.6 million global total of “The Beekeeper” against its reported $40 million budget produced by Black Bear. Amazon MGM acquired the movie in the U.S. and select overseas territories, with Warner Bros. handling the rest of its international release.

“Snow White,” meanwhile, is falling a stiff 66% from its already poor $42 million opening weekend, and now has a two-weekend total of $66.8 million domestic and $143.1 million worldwide. While it is still getting some play from female and family audiences and could continue to do so against Warner Bros.’ more boy-skewing “A Minecraft Movie” next week, it is not getting the four-quadrant, global play that a $250 million-plus remake needs to be theatrically profitable.
