The big-budget tentpole opened to a dismal $43 million domestically, after getting battered by mediocre audience scores and underwhelming reviews.

That’s even less than Tim Burton’s Dumbo, which came in at $45 million in 2019.

Overseas, Snow White took in $44.3 million for a disappointing global launch of $87.3 million after hoping to clear $100 million.

Starring Rachel Zegler in the titular role and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, Snow White had been tracking to open around $50 million, though Disney had been conservative in putting out a range of $45 million.

Directed by Marc Webb, Snow White arrived in theaters loaded with baggage after being buffeted by delays and controversies, a backlash over casting Zegler in the titular role because of the color of her skin (she is Colombian). She’s also made no secret of her support for the Palestinian people. Gadot, who is Israeli, has come under scrutiny for her remarks regarding the Gaza conflict.

Beauty and the Beast astounded when opening to $174.6 million domestically in March 2017, not adjusted for inflation.

In spring of 2015, Cinderella debuted to $67.9 million domestically; Maleficent launched to $69 million in May 2014 (the sequel, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, stalled at $37 million).

While Snow White is one of the best-known Disney princesses among adults 45 years and older, she is less known among younger demos; Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is 90 years old.

The animated Beauty and the Beast was released in 1991, and generations of kids grew up watching the film at home. And Cinderella has remained a perennial favorite among Disney princess fans since the animation hit theaters in 1950.
