How Did 'Snow White' Perform at the Box Office? "Snow White" did not prove to be the fairest of them all at the box office. After a disappointing domestic opening of $42 million, the film went on to flop globally by taking in only $205.5 million against a reported production budget between $240 and $270 million. What are the Controversies Surrounding 'Snow White'? Many of the controversies surrounding "Snow White" revolved around the casting of Rachel Zegler as the titular heroine. At first, many fans of the property questioned the decision to cast a Latina as a character traditionally depicted as white. Later, Zegler's casting stirred more political controversy when she proved outspoken both in her pro-Palestinian stance and in her disapproval of the reelection of President Donald Trump. Gal Gadot's casting as the Evil Queen proved just as controversial when pro-Palestinian groups called for the film to be boycotted because of Gadot's previous service in the IDF and her support for Israel. There was also controversy about the use, or lack thereof, of actors with dwarfism. Most notably, Peter Dinklage caused a stir when he mentioned "Snow White" on an episode of "WTF with Marc Maron" and bashed the movie, calling it, "that f---ing backwards story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together." More controversy erupted later when it was revealed that, of the actors whose motion capture and voices were used to create the CGI dwarfs, only one of them (Martin Klebba) was an actor with dwarfism.
