After initially modest start «Snow White» dropped 66% in its second weekend and earned $14.2 million, losing the top spot at the domestic box office to the new action movie starring Jason Statham.
It should be noted that the situation for «Snow White» is much better on the international market, and the total box office has already reached $143.1 million. A decent figure, if we don’t go into details.
The official budget figure for «Snow White» is $270 million, but Disney provided this figure back in December 2023, before reshoots and post-production, while according to the latest estimates by The New York Times, the remake cost the studio at least $350 million. In fact, the movie needs to earn at least $800 million to break even, which already looks unrealistic. In addition, the following weekend, the movie will debut Minecraft, which will obviously take a significant share of the family audience.
Recall that «Snow White» was rated in a modest 1.6 out of 10 on IMDb and in 41% on Rotten Tomatoes If we put aside all the scandals with Zegler’s statements that surrounded the film from the beginning of production, then general conclusion is that the remake was mediocre, the visuals unconvincing, and the story confusing.
In contrast, «Working Man» with Jason Statham opened with $15.2 million domestically and $30.2 million worldwide, despite mixed reviews. In the film, the actor plays a former military man who now moonlights as a construction worker, but returns to his main business after human traffickers kidnap his boss’s daughter.
«No one doubts the fact that Jason Statham is a real pro in his niche —. And the next movie with his participation will be interesting exactly as much as you personally admire this niche», — with ITC.ua reviews.
We remind you that «Beekeeper», the previous collaboration between Statham, David Ayer and Amazon MGM Studios, grossed $163 million worldwide, which can be considered a successful result for a film with a budget of $40 million.
