In addition, after the US presidential election, Zegler wrote on her social networks "Fuck Donald Trump"And she added:" Let the supporters of Trump, Trump voters and Trump himself never recognize the world. " However, the actress quickly apologized for her comments.
Stormy debate called And news about how in remake They will look Seven gnomes. The New York Times newspaper explainedthat because of the merged photos from the set, which was published by the The Daily Mail tabloid, and inaccurate Reactions Disney on this leak (representatives of the studio denied involvement in the pictures, and then confirmed their authenticity), many made an erroneous conclusion that the film would appear “political correct dwarves”. In viral photos, people with different skin color, floor and growth were captured. However, by data The Hollywood Reporter, director Mark Webb, from the very beginning, wanted these characters to be painted using computer graphics based on original images from the 1937 cartoon.
I did not look, but I condemn
By the time of writing the text on Rotten Tomatoes based on 254 reviews of critics remake received The rating “Freshness” 40% with an average rating of 5.2 out of 10 points, that is, most professional film facilities did not really like it. Many journalists praised Zegler and songs, but scolded the film for the visual style. “Thanks to the vivid role of Rachel Zegler in Snow White, you are unlikely to grow out, but the careless handling of the film with the original source and some ridiculous stylistic solutions will also not make everyone,” the consensus description of the tape on the portal says.
Rotten Tomatoes Rotten Tomatoes rating It happens Two types - from users who confirmed viewing with a ticket to the cinema, and from everyone who simply decided to assess. Users with tickets Rating "Snow White" Compiled 72% when estimating 3.9 out of 5 (“maybe Disney Snow White and not the most correct embodiment, but its good -natured song and spirit will make you sing along”). For those who have not confirmed viewing, only 19% when assessing 1.5/5. The number of spectators, who, according to Rotten Tomatoes, bought a movie ticket before setting points, is at least 2500 people, and the total number of those who assessed at least 10 times higher. That is, their ratings on Rotten Tomatoes were mainly put up by users who did not go to the cinema.
Another picture on IMDB: as of May 14 there at the Snow White indicated Assess of 1.6 out of 10 points at 353,000 votes, of which 90.0% are units. Because of this, social networks And Media Numerous messagesAs if the film received a record low rating from users of this site and headed the list of worst paintings according to the portal.
Thanks to Substracted copies The pages of the film can trace an approximate change in both the assessment and the number of voters. Moreover, from March 27, the platform warnedthat fixes signs Revoy-bombing, that is, intentional understatement of the assessment. “Our rating mechanism has discovered an unusual voting activity on this project,” says the disclaimer on the Snow White page.
A similar warning can be found on the page "Mermaids" - another Disney remake, the main character of which was played by a dark -skinned actress and who also caused criticism of a similar plan. The Rusalochka rating tried to underestimate, but in this case, the IMDB disclaim is supplemented by clarification: "In order to maintain the reliability of our rating system, an alternative calculation of the value was applied." A little more about this system told On the corresponding page of the site, however, the exact method is not disclosed. Now the assessment of the "Mermaid" is 7.2 out of 10.
The campaign to underestimate the “Snow White rating” is indicated by other signs. World rental It has begun March 19, and in the USA she was released two days later. Thus, in about a week and a half, the remake received about 300,000 assessments on IMDB. The exact number of spectators of the Snow White is difficult to establish, but by early May, world box office of the tape Compiled A modest $ 200 million, from which we can conclude that it was not too interesting to the audience. This ratio of the total cash desk and an abnormal number of assessments raises questions. For comparison: here are the current data of several recent family projects of Hollywood production:
It can be seen that children's and family paintings, which have been released much earlier and received fees many times more than Snow White, still have not scored 300,000 assessments on IMDB, and it took a remake with a zegler for less than two weeks. It also indicates with a high probability that most users who rated the tape for 1 point hardly watched the film.
The worst film in the history of IMDB?
IN rating The worst films according to IMDB include full -length cinema films that have received ratings of at least 10,000 users. Short films, television films and documentary documentaries are not taken into account there. Snow White appeared on this list on March 24 on 13th positionsbut then disappeared. This is probably due to the anomalies that recorded the algorithms.
By default, the participants in the worst films rating are ranked according to a special formula, and therefore a picture with points with points that occupies the second line may turn out in the first place. If you choose Sorting According to users, it turns out that there are several tapes with smaller points than the Snow White.
If we summarize, we can say that the film was subjected to roar-bombing and that the assessment of the Snow White remake does not reflect the true reaction of the audience. This film never headed the IMDB anti -rating and did not receive the lowest rating of users in the history of the platform.
Film number 1 in the world?
Some Commentators In social networks Substituted Above the statement of Zegler that Snow White became the film No. 1 in the world. On March 24, the actress really posted a photo from the filming of the remake and wrote*that Snow White became the film No. 1 in the world. On the same day, publication on this topic appeared in social networks Walt Disney Studios, where a few days later released Another similar post.
In fact, statements that your film was the first in the world if it received The largest cash fees in the world rent for the weekend is a common Hollywood practice Among the studios and eminent actors. And he really was him! According to the media, a remake with a zegler in the first weekend (in the USA this is March 21–23) earned $ 42.2 million in the American market and a little more ($ 43.9 million) In the rest of the world, which gave the total cash desk of $ 86.1 million and led the Snow White to the TOP weekend. The first film in the world can easily be both the critics of the hit, and a financially failed project with low estimates (if, for example, there were no strong competitors this week).
And finally, is this the most failed Disney movie over the years?
In Russian -speaking posts and articles, many options for the alleged budget cited: $ 209 million, $ 240 million, $ 250 million, $ 270 million, $ 300 million. The authors of some publications declaredthat the cost could be much higher, and the previous numbers - "Someone's joke", Because more than $ 350 million were spent on the cinema. As a result appeared The news that the final budget of the new “Snow White” was known, which amounted to the tremendous $ 410 million. In this regard, the Internet occurs on the Internet that the film will either become or has already become the largest failure for Disney.
However, the studios rarely report the official budgets of blockbusters, so most often we know only the approximate costs of tentpols from specialized publications and journalists, whose estimates may vary. Snow White was no exception: in Disney Not commented Budget publications.
The numbers took up previous publications: in 2023 the British tabloid The Daily Mail declaredthat $ 330 million was spent on the film.

In turn, Deadline claimedas if the cost of the tape amounted to $ 270 million - this amount took up Articles Forbes in November 2024, in which they concluded from the financial reports of the studio that by the end of 2023 the cost of a remake increased to $ 269.4 million. This budget does not take into account the costs of crossing, which Passed In the summer of 2024, however, Forbes noted that the main shootings took place in the UK, where the studio Received Compensation of $ 55.5 million and reduced net expenses to $ 213.9 million.
March 23, 2025 The New York Times released a note in which It was mentionedthat the cost of the tape amounted to at least $ 350 million. However, it was important there clarification: So much money was allegedly spent on shooting and advertising Snow White. Earlier in the same newspaper They wrotethat for various reasons the budget increased from $ 210 million to $ 270 million, which was influenced by security protocols to combat pandemia, fire on the site, strike Actors in 2023 and health complications due to pregnancy.
March 31 on Deadline the amount was announced even more - $ 410 million; The budget consisted of a production cost of $ 270 million and advertising costs of $ 111 million, and another $ 29 million took to Residual payments and other expenses. As a result, experts in different ways assessed the cost of the remake, but they were united in the fact that Snow White would bring the company losses. But how much? According to the same Deadline, losses will be About $ 115 million, if the tape can collect $ 225 million (so far a little less).

It is noted that the list does not take into account future income from thematic parks and cruises.
Losses of $ 115 million are a lot, but far from a record. According to the calculations of the same Deadlinelast year's "Joker: Madness for two" And "Furios: Chronicles of Mad Max»From Warner Bros. They brought loss by more than $ 144 million and $ 119 million, respectively. A year before, Disney was no better, because, by data the same publication, unprofitable projects "Captain Marvel-2"( - $ 237 million),"Indiana Jones and the wheel of fate"( - $ 143 million),"Testament desire"( - $ 131 million) and"Ghost mansion"( - $ 117 million).
