Los Angeles | Snow White, Walt Disney’s modern-day remake of the 1937 animated classic, opened to weekend sales that missed box-office forecasts, the result of mixed reviews and a blizzard of negative publicity.
The live-action remake starring Rachel Zegler in the title role delivered ticket sales of $US42.2 million ($67 million) in the US and Canada, according to figures released this week by Comscore. The industry tracker Box Office Pro had predicted at least $US45 million and up to $55 million – an already low range for a major theatrical production.
