Rachel Zegler's ‘Snow White' Gets Digital Streaming Release Date
"Snow White" partial poster featuring Gal Gadot and Rachel Zegler. Disney Enterprises, Inc. Snow White — Disney's live-action remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot — is coming soon to digital streaming. Directed by Marc Webb, Snow White has been plagued with various controversies since the film went into production more than three years ago. Among the controversies were Zegler's critical comments about the 1937 original tale, divisive political social media posts and Disney's decision to make the seven dwarfs CGI characters after actor Peter Dinklage criticized the idea of using actors born with dwarfism playing the roles. Forbes 'A Minecraft Movie' Gets Digital Streaming Release Date, Report Says By Tim Lammers Rated PG, Snow White stars Zegler in the title role and Gadot plays the Evil Queen. However, there are several departures from the storyline of the original 1937 animated based on the classic Brothers Grimm fairytale. Among them is the replacement of the prince character by a bandit named Jonathan (Andrew Burnap), which resulted in the omission of the animated film's song 'Someday, My Prince Will Come.' There are also changes to at least one of the dwarf characters and a different ending since the prince character doesn't exist. Forbes Met Gala 2025: See Photos Of Zendaya, Demi Moore, Cynthia Erivo And More By Tim Lammers Snow White is set to arrive on digital streaming via premium video on demand on Tuesday, May 13, per Prime Video, where the film is up for pre-order for $29.99 (which is also the film's purchase price. Digital rentals are typically $5 less than purchase prices, so viewers can expect to rent Snow White for $24.99 for a 48-hour period. Snow White will also be available on on a variety of other digital platforms, including AppleTV and Fandango at Home. Given the film's $270 million production budget before prints and advertising costs (via The Numbers ), Snow White's domestic opening weekend tally of $42.2 million from 4,200 theaters was considered a flop. Business for the film slid 66% in the film's second weekend and its domestic take was in the single digits by its third weekend in theaters. By Snow White's fourth frame, the film tumbled out of the top five at the domestic box office after shedding 1,200 theaters. Forbes 'Reacher' Star Alan Ritchson Wows Billy Joel With Cover Of Song Classic By Tim Lammers To date, Snow White has earned nearly $86.1 million domestically and $115.5 million domestically for a worldwide tally of $201.7 million. Snow White received a 40% 'rotten' rating from Rotten Tomatoes critics based on 255 reviews. RT's Critics Consensus for the film reads, ' Snow White is hardly a grumpy time at the movies thanks to Rachel Zegler's luminous star turn, but its bashful treatment of the source material along with some dopey stylistic choices won't make everyone happy, either.' Forbes 'Snow White': The Biggest Changes Made From 1937 Animated Classic By Tim Lammers Audiences gave Snow White a 72% 'fresh' score on RT's Popcornmeter based on 2,500-plus verified user ratings. The audience summary of the film on RT reads, ' Disney's Snow White may not be the fairest incarnation of them all, but its benign song and spirit may make you hum along all the same.'

‘Snow White' fails to charm audiences
NEW YORK, March 24, (AP): The Walt Disney Co.'s live-action, controversy-bedeviled 'Snow White' opened in theaters with a sleepy $43 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday. With a budget above $250 million, 'Snow White' had set out with higher ambitions, particularly since it returns Disney to its very origins. The 1937 original 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' was the company's first animated feature, and paid for its Burbank studio lot. But this 'Snow White' struggled to find anything like a fairy tale ending. The runup to release was plagued by controversies over the film's handling of the dwarfs, who are rendered in CGI, and backlashes over comments by its star, Rachel Zegler. The PR headaches prompted Disney to pull back on its premiere. Also working against the film, directed by Marc Webb: poor reviews. Critics were largely not impressed with Disney's latest live-action remake, with reviews coming in just 43% 'fresh' on Rotten Tomatoes. There's been a wide variance between the boxoffice performance of other 'live-action' Disney remakes, but 'Snow White' might mark a new nadir. Jon Favreau's photorealistic 'The Lion King' (2019) didn't have great reviews, either, but grossed more than $1.6 billion worldwide. 'Snow White' opened worse than 'Dumbo' (a $46 million opening in 2019) and well shy of 'Cinderella' territory ($67.9 million in 2015). Overseas, 'Snow White' added $44.3 million for a global launch of $87.3 million. But going into the weekend, 'Snow White' had been eyeing a worldwide total closer to $100 million - and a few weeks back, expectations were significantly higher. The result will surely add to questions over Disney's long-term strategy of mining its vault for live action remakes. In the pipeline are upcoming new versions of 'Moana' and 'Tangled.' A live-action 'Lilo & Stitch' launches in May. Modernize Efforts to modernize 'Snow White,' though, quickly ran afoul. In 2022, actor Peter Dinklage criticized the remake plans as 'backward.' Disney ultimately opted to drop 'and the Seven Dwarfs' from the original's title, and animate the dwarfs. Some right-wing commentators targeted 'Snow White' and Zegler's casting as an overly 'woke' production. Delays and reshoots also ran up costs. Disney, though, has recently steered a handful of films from modest starts to enviable final hauls. The Barry Jenkins-directed 'Mufasa: The Lion King' opened with $35.4 million domestically, but ultimately surpassed $717 million worldwide. 'Snow White' will face little direct competition in the coming weeks. Audiences gave it a 'B+' Cinema Score. Warner Bros.' 'Alto Knights,' a period gangster film starring Robert De Niro in both lead roles, was a total misfire. The Barry Levinson-directed film, which cost about $45 million to make, opened with just $3.2 million from 2,651 theaters. The flop of 'Alto Knights' followed another misfire for Warner Bros. with Bong Joon Ho's big-budget sci-fi 'Mickey 17.' In three weeks, it's tallied $40.2 million domestically against a $118 million budget. 'Magazine Dreams,' starring Jonathan Majors as a disturbed aspiring bodybuilder, opened with $700,000 for Briarcliff Entertainment in 815 locations. The film was dropped by Searchlight Pictures after Majors was convicted of two misdemeanor counts of assault and harassment against Grace Jabbari, his ex-girlfriend. Majors avoided jail time but was given a year of probation. The disappointment-filled weekend added to a rough 2025 so far for Hollywood. The box office is down 6.9% from last year, according to data firm Comscore, and 38.6% from 2019. With final domestic figures releasing Monday, this list factors in the estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at US and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore.
