Snow White's Big Miss: What Went Wrong?

Gal Gadot, known for her role in Wonder Woman, recently talked about the 2025 Snow White remake's box office flop. The movie, which featured Gadot as the Evil Queen and Rachel Zegler as Snow White, didn't meet expectations. It made only $42 million in its first weekend and ended up with $205 million worldwide. With a production budget of around $270 million, the movie didn't make enough to break even. The movie faced a lot of criticism even before it came out. Many people felt it didn't bring anything new to the table and made changes that didn't sit well with fans. On Rotten Tomatoes, it has a 38% approval rate from critics. Some viewers praised Gadot's performance, but the movie as a whole didn't impress everyone.In an interview, Gadot mentioned the pressure celebrities face to take sides in political issues. She felt the movie was affected by the ongoing international situation. She said, "You win some, you lose some, " showing her acceptance of the outcome. Gadot has been in the spotlight for her stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict, which added to the movie's controversies. Rachel Zegler, who played Snow White, also faced backlash for her comments about the original Snow White and her support for Palestine. The movie tried to modernize the story, including making the seven dwarfs magical creatures, but these changes didn't go over well with many fans. There are many reasons why Snow White didn't do well at the box office. Negative reviews and review bombing likely kept many people away. However, when it hit Disney+, more people started watching it. The audience approval rate on Rotten Tomatoes is 70%, showing that many viewers actually liked the movie. This suggests that politics and media backlash might have played a role in its box office failure, but they weren't the only reasons.
