Disney had one realistic hope for its “Snow White” adaptation to defy critics.
Legs.
The movie you’re referring to is often called a “sleeper hit.” Although it didn’t initially perform exceptionally well, it went on to garner impressive box office figures in the long run. A notable instance of this phenomenon was the 2017 musical film “The Greatest Showman.” Despite its modest opening of $8.8 million, it eventually accumulated an astonishing $174 million domestically.
Word of mouth did its job.
For ‘Snow White,’ it’s not the case of repeat success. Over the weekend, its debut brought in just $42 million, marking the poorest opening for any Disney live-action movie.
This upcoming weekend, Deadline’s projections suggest that the movie will see an approximately 68% decrease in earnings. This would potentially lead to a box office revenue of around $13.7 million during its second week.
Compared to Dumbo’s 60% decrease in its second outing, Snow White’s descent is more precipitous, and the fall Maleficent: Mistress of Evil experienced in its second week (-48%) appears less severe with earnings of $19.4 million.
In a potential turn of events, “The Mouse House” film could potentially be outperformed by the fresh entrant, “A Working Man,” the latest high-octane action flick starring Jason Statham.
The movie, which Sylvester Stallone collaborated on and is adapted from the Levon Cade series penned by Chuck Dixon, has a good chance of surprising us.
Upon closer look, the news about “Snow White” seems to be even more troubling. Contrary to speculation, neither the Statham film nor the newcomer “Death of a Unicorn,” a unique blend of horror and comedy rated R, managed to divert the young audience away from Disney.
“Snow White” had the PG-rated field to itself. It still massively underperformed.
Over the weekend, the popularity of “The Chosen” continued unabated. Specifically, “The Chosen: Last Supper Part 1” managed to generate an impressive $5.1 million at just over 3,000 screening locations.
