Snow White experienced a challenging opening weekend at the box office, securing one of the lowest domestic totals among Disney's recent live-action remakes. According to Comscore figures, the film, directed by Marc Webb (known for The Amazing Spider-Man series), debuted with a domestic box office figure of $43 million. This marks the second highest opening of 2025, trailing only Captain America: Brave New World, but still falls short compared to other Disney reboots like Dumbo, which launched with $45 million in 2019.
For comparison, earlier remakes such as The Lion King (2019), Beauty and the Beast (2017), The Jungle Book (2016), and The Little Mermaid (2023) all exceeded $100 million domestically during their opening weekends.
Internationally, Snow White's performance mirrored its domestic struggles, bringing in $44.3 million over the weekend. This brings the global box office total to $87.3 million, according to Comscore estimates.
Despite its sluggish start, Snow White—a live-action adaptation featuring Rachel Zegler as Snow White and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen—carries a production budget reportedly exceeding $250 million. Its financial success will depend heavily on future earnings to offset both production and marketing expenses.
There is hope, however, as Disney's previous prequel, Mufasa: The Lion King, opened weakly domestically but ultimately earned over $717 million globally. As Disney anticipates a similar trajectory for Snow White, the studio continues to face scrutiny regarding the performance of Captain America: Brave New World. Currently, Captain America has grossed $400.8 million globally, with $192.1 million domestic and $208.7 million international receipts after six weeks.
IGN’s review awarded Snow White a 7/10, noting, “This live-action Disney remake meaningfully adapts its source material rather than merely mimicking it.”
