US EditionDisney's Live-Action Snow White Hits Digital After Re-Release Flop
- Disney's live-action Snow White movie, released in March 2025, failed at the box office and was re-released in about 1,000 US theaters before going digital.
- The film's poor performance stemmed from a $269.4 million budget, negative reception, and audience rejection linked to its political messaging and CGI dwarfs.
- Despite expanding from 310 to over 1,300 theaters during re-release, it earned a low $252 per screen, falling far short of expectations and previous Disney hits.

- The flop implies a potential shift away from Disney's live-action remakes, highlighting a misalignment between their offerings and public tastes amid criticism of 'woke' content.
