NEW SNOW WHITE MOVIE APPEARS TO BE BOMBING

The new Snow White movie laid a huge egg over its opening weekend.  $43 million domestic box office.  That sort of sucks.  The movie cost about $250 million.  Typically promotion on a big budget big studio film runs about 100% of production costs so you can reasonably figure that Disney has about $500 million in the movie.  That means that $43 million opening weekend is pretty poor. 

The movie is, I guess, not as horribly woke as the Bat Girl flick that was so bad they didn't even release it.  In fact it isn't as horribly woke as the original reincarnation of Snow White, which was so woke it was bizarre.  It does, however, appear that it is NOT reaching the market it wanted and that the people who will pay money to see a woke reimagination of a classic Disney flick is limited.  Maybe very limited.

It will be interesting to see what the numbers look like in another 2-3 weeks.
