Snow White Flop: How Much Money Did Disney Lose?
04/02/2025 03:55 AM
Snow White has become one of Disney's biggest box office flops, raising questions about how much money Disney lost on the live-action remake. Starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, the film struggled to attract audiences despite its star-studded cast. With disappointing ticket sales and growing controversy surrounding the project, Disney now faces a significant financial blow.
How much money will Disney lose with Snow White's flop?
The worldwide box office for Snow White stands at $225 million, with an estimated $100 million coming from domestic collections and $125 million from overseas markets.
To put this into perspective, Snow White earned less than Disney's 2019 live-action remake Dumbo, which grossed $115 million domestically, essentially making it a flop.
Disney is expected to generate $295 million in total revenues through global film rentals, home entertainment, streaming, and merchandise sales. However, this amount pales in comparison to the film's overall cost. The production and marketing expenses for Snow White reportedly reached $410 million, resulting in an estimated Disney loss of around $115 million.
One of the biggest red flags for the film was its dramatic decline after its opening weekend. Snow White brought in $14.2 million, reflecting a 66% decline which is a sharper fall than previous Disney remakes like Dumbo and Maleficent. Furthermore, in terms of global collection, Rachel Zegler’s starrer has accumulated $143.1 million so far, basically signaling a tough road ahead. (via Deadline)
Adding to its struggles, Snow White has been surrounded by controversy from the start, primarily due to comments made by Rachel Zegler regarding the original 1937 animated film.
While the film's theatrical performance has been a flop, there's still a possibility that Snow White could gain traction once it debuts on Disney+. Some films experience a resurgence in popularity through streaming, though it remains uncertain whether Snow White will follow this trend.
