That kind of rhetoric didn’t sit well with audiences — and now the numbers are confirming it.
According to reports, Snow White currently holds a humiliating 1.5 out of 10 rating on IMDb, based on nearly 284,000 reviews. That makes it the worst-rated film in IMDb history, according to the UK’s Daily Mail.
And the box office? A total disaster.
Projections from Deadline show the film is on track to lose $115 million, with total earnings expected to reach only $295 million against a whopping $410 million in production costs.
In the U.S., the movie is projected to barely scrape together $100 million — a number that even Dumbo, another widely criticized remake, managed to beat back in 2019 with $115 million domestic.
The downward spiral was swift. The film’s opening weekend was already underwhelming, but the second weekend sealed its fate. With a steep 66% drop, Snow White brought in only $14.2 million, a disastrous signal for Disney’s latest attempt to rebrand a beloved classic.
This isn’t just a failed film — it’s a full-on branding catastrophe for Disney.
It’s worth remembering: Snow White was once Disney’s crown jewel — the first-ever full-length animated feature, and a cornerstone of American film history. A respectful remake could have reignited love for the story. Instead, the studio chose to reinvent it through a progressive lens that most longtime fans simply didn’t want.
Add to that the strange decision to cast “diverse” actors in the roles of the seven dwarfs, only to walk it back after massive backlash, and it becomes clear that Disney never had a cohesive plan — only an agenda.

At the center of the storm is Zegler, who not only took creative liberties with her character but made it clear she wasn’t interested in honoring the original spirit of the role.
“She’s going to be dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be and that her late father told her that she could be if she was fearless, fair, brave, and true,” she said.
While that may fit modern narratives, it clearly didn’t resonate with the paying public. Audiences weren’t looking for a lecture — they were looking for a fairy tale.
Now, Disney is left holding the bag on yet another multi-million dollar failure, and fans are left wondering whether the studio will ever return to telling stories that inspire joy, not division.
For now, the message is loud and clear: America doesn’t want a “woke” Snow White. And based on the numbers, it looks like they never did.
