After Rachel Zegler’s previous comments on her upcoming film,Snow Whiteand the princess’ legacy angered fans, it looks like the movie is in for some disappointment at the box office. Starring Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, the retelling of the classic fairytale has seen its fair share of lows even before its release. Whether it was the reimagining of the Seven Dwarfs, Rachel Zegler’s casting, or her apparent disdain towards the original story, fans have wanted nothing to do with the film.
Perhaps all of this has combined into one giant mess for the movie which will soon be released in theatres worldwide. As per predictions,Snow White‘s opening weekend box office numbersdo not look good at all.
Box office forecast for Gal Gadot’sSnow White(2025)
Directed byMarc Webb,Snow Whitewill be released in theatres in the third half of the coming month of March. It is a reboot of the 1937 animated classic but asRachel Zeglerhas statedtime and time againbefore, it is not going to be anything like the OG flick.
Since reboots of classic stories need the nostalgia factor to help them achieve success among the masses, the lead actress’ criticism of the fan-favorite princess might drive the potential audience away from theatres.Deadline‘s box office prediction proves exactly that.

According to the prediction, the three-day-long opening weekend ofGal Gadot‘s film will bring in anywhere between $63-70 million at the box office. On the other hand, some other sources believe the number will be a solid $65 million.
Snow White‘s going to have to do much better than this if it wants to at least break even. As perVariety, the film’s budget sits at a whopping $240 million whereasForbessaid the number reached $269.4 million by the end of 2023.
Well, if this turns out to be true, it only adds to Gadot’s growing filmography which is filled with titles that have been unable to beat the 2017 superhero flick,Wonder Woman,in terms of box office.
Earning a whopping $103.3 million during its opening weekend in the United States (viaTHR) and $125 million in other countries (viaDeadline),Wonder Womanended its box office run with $817 million (viaThe Numbers).
Fans are not looking forward toSnow White
When Deadline’s forecast made its way to social media, fans were not surprised, to say the least. Given Zegler’s comments, the film’s trailer, and the overall lack of the original’s essence,Snow Whiteis probably one of the most disliked reboots of all time. Let’s not even talk about the hairstyle!
