Rachel Zegler’s Snow White Crosses Another Major Box Office Milestone During Its Fourth Weekend

Snow White has hit a major box office milestone. The newest Disney live-action remake, which was directed by (500) Days of Summer and The Amazing Spider-Man‘s Marc Webb, stars Rachel Zegler in the title role opposite Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen and an ensemble cast that also includes Andrew Burnap, Ansu Kabia, Patrick Page, Jeremy Swift, Tituss Burgess, Andrew Barth Feldman, and Martin Klebba. Snow White reviews have been mixed to negative, with critics cumulatively giving it a Rotten Tomatoes score of 40%.

Per Deadline, as of Saturday morning, Snow White is projected to take in a 3-day haul of $2.8 million at the domestic box office by the end of its fourth weekend in theaters. Although this sees it falling from No. 4 to No. 8 on the domestic Top 10 chart amid the debut of a cadre of major new releases including The King of Kings, Drop, and The Amateur, the weekend pushes its cumulative domestic total past the $80 million milestone, to a projected $81.2 million.

What This Means For Snow White

It Is Still Nowhere Near Breaking Even

Although it is only the fourth 2025 release to pass the $80 million domestic milestone so far, the huge Snow White budget remains a major hurdle. Because it reportedly cost roughly $250 million, this most likely means it needs to gross $625 million worldwide just to break even. It is currently not on track to get anywhere close to that total. Below, see how its domestic performance in weekend 4 compares to Disney’s lowest-grossing live-action remakes from the last 10 years that were direct adaptations rather than sequels, prequels, or reimaginings:

Title	Domestic Cume (Weekend 4)	Worldwide Total
Snow White (2025)	~$81.2 million	TBD
Dumbo (2019)	$101.1 million	$353.4 million
Cinderella (2015)	$167.1 million	$543.5 million
The Little Mermaid (2023)	$253 million	$569.6 million

All three of the previous lowest-grossing Disney live-action remakes made less than $625 million worldwide, which is not good news for Snow White, especially considering the fact that 2023’s The Little Mermaid had a cumulative domestic gross that was more than triple its $81.2 million by the end of its fourth weekend. In fact, if Snow White follows Dumbo‘s trajectory, it might only make $283.8 million, which is just barely more than its reported production budget.

Our Take On The Snow White Box Office Milestone

Disney’s Budgets May Need To Go Lower

It seems that Disney’s response to Snow White‘s severe underperformance has been to slow down on remaking their princess movies, as development on the live-action Tangled was recently paused. However, the bigger issue is the budget level. By its raw numbers, the new movie could have been a mid-tier blockbuster if it hadn’t cost $250 million (a total that ballooned amid reshoots). Additionally, the 2025 installment has been mired in controversy amid backlash about its depiction of the story’s seven dwarfs and the two leads’ publicly opposing views on Israel and Palestine, which is baggage that wouldn’t affect future remakes.
