The Seven Dwarfs have been replaced by seven 'magical creatures' (pictured)
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.
