‘Snow White' In Freefall With 68% Drop At Weekend Box Office; ‘Working Man' Eyes No. 1
Rachel Zegler in "Snow White."
Disney Enterprises, Inc.
Early projections for the second weekend of Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot's Snow White were apparently a bit too optimistic and Jason Statham's A Working Man is stepping up to take advantage of it.
The $270 million live-action adaptation of Disney's 1937 classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs opened far below early tracking projections last weekend to the tune of $42.2 million.
Now, following Deadline's projection of $20 million for its second Friday-Sunday frame — a 53% drop in business from its opening weekend — the trade publication is now estimating the film will take in only $13.7 million from 4,200 theaters in its second weekend for a No. 2 finish. The projected weekend tally marks a 68% drop in Snow White's opening weekend box office.
With Snow White's box office freefall in its second weekend, Amazon MGM's action thriller A Working Man is projected to seize the box office crown from the live-action Disney princess movie.
Following its $10 million to $12 million opening weekend projection on Wednesday, Deadline is now reporting that the Jason Statham film is projected to earn $15.6 million for the No. 1 spot at the domestic box office.
Directed by David Ayers, who previously worked with Statham on The Beekeeper, A Working Man is playing in 3,262 North American theaters.
Snow White, of course, has been hammered by controversies dating back three-plus years, with many of the troubles originating with Zegler, who among other things, called the original animated film dated and referred to its prince as a stalker in 2022.
In August of 2024, Zegler posted on X, 'and always remember, free palestine' a minute after she thanked supporters on the platform for supporting the Snow White trailer.
Despite a personal plea from the film's producer, Marc Platt — whom, Variety reported, flew to New York to ask the actor to take down the post — Zegler kept the comment online. Then, in November, Zegler went on a post-presidential election tirade on social media targeting President Donald Trump and his supporters.
Fathom Events' faith-based feature The Chosen: The Last Supper is projected by Deadline to earn $12 million from 2,234 theaters domestically in its opening weekend for a third-place finish.
Project by the finish fourth by the trade publication is Universal Pictures' horror thriller The Woman in the Yard, which is poised to take No. 4 with $8.5 million from 2,842 venues in its first Friday-Sunday frame.
Meanwhile, A24's Death of a Unicorn — a dark horror comedy starring Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd — is projected by Deadline to take the No. 5 spot at the domestic box office with an opening weekend take of $5 million from 3,050 theaters.
Note: This report will be updated throughout the weekend with the most current numbers as they become available. The final numbers for this weekend's box office will be released on Monday.

Shocked parent discovers how Disney World subtly checks kids for lice: ‘That's a creative way to disguise it'
One of parents' worst nightmares is their kid getting lice — but you suspect it in your little ones' head and don't want to do the checking yourself, head over to Disney World where the staff will do the work for you. One Disney parent posted in a now-viral TikTok how those who are staffed by the land of Mickey and Minnie Mouse cleverly go about checking kids' heads for the tiny, wingless insects. Advertisement The mom captioned her video, 'I didn't even realize what they were doing until I rewatched the video. Literally making every moment magical even while checking for lice at bippity boppity boutique.' In the video, the staffer dressed in character as a fairy Godmother kneels behind an adorable little girl and begins parting her hair to check for any signs of the nasty insects. 'I didn't even realize what they were doing until I rewatched the video. Literally making every moment magical even while checking for lice at bippity boppity boutique,' the mom wrote as the caption of her video. Advertisement While doing so, the employee is chatting with the toddler, who is oblivious that her head is being inspected, about Rapunzel's hair. Something that Disney is known for offering to young guests is the ability to get a princess — or knight —makeover, which includes getting hair and makeup done at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Magic Kingdom The parent who posted the video isn't the only one pleasantly surprised by this service. Advertisement 'You know what, I'd rather them check for lice than a surprise after vacation!' one commenter wrote. 'Hopefully no parent takes offense to this because it's not only protecting other children, it's protecting your child from getting it, too,' pointed out someone else. 'That's a sweet and creative way to disguise it,' another person agreed. 'It's not just checking for lice — it's also checking for any rashes, skin issues, cuts/broken skin. Anything that could react to whatever they're putting on ur head. It's for their safety and yours!' a commenter explained. Advertisement Although Disney didn't confirm the lice checking to be true, one could assume that staff at the amusement park use this opportunity to make sure little guests' heads are clean before transforming them into a Disney princess or knight. Go on vacation, get a free lice check. Which doesn't sound like a bad idea, considering an estimated 6 to 12 million US kids between the ages of 3 and 11 years old get lice every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention And if your kid becomes a statistic, olive oil can actually help smother, kill and remove lice eggs from a child's head, according to Northwell Health pediatrician Dr. Lauren Adler Keep in mind that the CDC states that it 'does not have clear scientific evidence' — but if the food product does the trick, more power to it.

Disney+ launches new £1.99 deal, but it won't be around forever
Sign up to Disney+ For a limited time Disney+ is offering subscribers the chance to sign up to the streaming platform for just £1.99 per month. The deal will give users access to some of the biggest shows of the moment, and the deal is being launched just in time for the releases of The Bear, Alien: Earth, and the streaming debut of Snow White.

Here is everything you need to know to nab yourself the limited time deal. Disney+'s new deal is valid from 11 June until 30 June, and the good news is that both new and returning customers are eligible for this lower-priced subscription. The deal is only for Disney+ Standard with Ads and it will cost £1.99 per month for four months before auto-renewing to the then-current monthly price until the subscription is cancelled. This deal will save users £12 compared to Disney+'s regular monthly price for those four months. At the moment the subscription deal costs £4.99 per month. So what does the Disney+ Standard with Ads give you? Well it of course includes Ad-supported streaming with adverts catered to the platform's audience. Users on this tier will also be able to enjoy ip to 1080p Full HD video quality as well as 5.1 audio, and they will be able to stream on two devices at any time. One of the things that subscribers on the Disney+ Standard with Ads tier won't get is the ability to download shows and movies to watch on the go. But, if you're not too bothered by that, then the tier might be just right for you. Unlike the other subscription tiers on Disney+ there is no yearly plan for Disney+ Standard with Ads, so users will have to pay monthly to access the streamer. There are currently two other subscription tiers: Disney+ Standard and Disney+ Premium, while those wishing to give access to a person outside their household can also choose to sign up for the Extra Member subscription at an extra £3.99 (for Standard with Ads) or £4.99 (for Standard and Premium). What's to come on Disney+ from 11 June then? Quite a lot actually, as mentioned the next big releases on the platform include series 4 of the critically-acclaimed drama The Bear from 26 June, while Marvel fans can dive into the newest series, Ironheart, from 25 June. The limited time deal comes just in time for the streaming debut of Snow White on 11 June, while the hotly-anticipated FX series Alien: Earth lands on the platform on 13 August. As well as new shows and movies Disney+ is also home to award-winning films from Searchlight Pictures like A Real Pain and Poor Things, as well as fascinating documentaries through National Geographic. The Marvel and Star Wars franchises are also available to stream in full on the platform, as well as FX and Hulu series through the platform's Star Originals category. So there really is plenty to enjoy on Disney+.
