‘Snow White’ Was Plagued By Several Controversies
Snow White had a rough run in theaters following a slew of pre-release controversies, including Rachel Zegler’s criticism of the 1937 animated classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and politically divisive social media posts, and Disney’s handling of how the seven dwarfs should be represented on screen.
Disney ultimately settled on CGI dwarfs to represent the diminutive characters.
Snow White, which is still in theaters, has to date earned $87.2 million in North American theaters and $118.3 million internationally for a worldwide box office tally of $205.5 million worldwide against a $269.4 million production budget before prints and advertising, according to The Numbers.
The film earned a 40% “rotten” rating from Rotten Tomatoes critics based on 258 reviews.
The Critics Consensus on the review aggregation site 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.”
Snow White, however, did receive a 71% “fresh” score on RT’s Popcornmeter based on 2,500-plus verified user ratings.
Snow White will arrive on Disney+ on June 11.
