Los Angeles, California – The highly anticipated Disney film, Snow White, is generating buzz ahead of its premiere. The movie, directed by Marc Webb and featuring rising star Rachel Zegler, is set to hit theaters with Thursday previews already raking in an impressive $3.5 million, according to industry sources. Despite not being a Disney-confirmed figure, these numbers indicate a strong start for the live-action adaptation.
With the previews exceeding those of previous Disney releases like Maleficent: Mistress of Evil and Dumbo, industry analysts are closely watching to see if Snow White will continue to draw in audiences over the weekend. The film’s $270 million production cost underscores the high stakes for its box office success, particularly among families and moviegoers in red states.
Despite concerns about the film’s low critical score on Rotten Tomatoes, Snow White boasts an impressive creative team, including Wicked producer Marc Platt and acclaimed songwriters Pasek and Paul. The movie aims to offer audiences a well-produced and modern take on the classic fairy tale, distancing itself from any political or controversial undertones.
In addition to Snow White’s wide release, other films like Warner Bros.’ Alto Knights and RLJE/Shudder’s Ash are also hitting theaters this weekend, providing moviegoers with a variety of options. As audiences prepare to flock to cinemas for the long-awaited premiere, the reception of Snow White remains uncertain, with the film’s success hinging on its ability to captivate both new and longtime fans of the iconic story.
