No one goes to the theater anymore. I just build my own theater at home. I'm not in a rush to be the first one to see a film. If I care I'll watch it when I want. Also with 3 boys and a wife that could give no shits about Snow White, we'd never have gone anyway. That's about 95% of the population.

So seeing empty seating charts really isn't a surprise. Production companies need to read their crowd better. Disney or anyone. Times are changing and so is tech in home. It's $1k to get as good as movie theater sound and if you have the budget $5-8k will blow away a movie theater run by teenagers.

Most modern movies blow anyway. Unless there's food and booze, there's no point in going to the movies. Just wait and spend $19, if that instead of $125 for a family of 5.

?? I do not get it.

$16 million so far at the box office after its release yesterday (21 March 2025)

Snow White had a $255 million budget so I suspect it needs a $450 million box office sales to break even

It's pretty bad when the evil queen at more than twice the age of the hirsute hispanic heroine is much better looking. Kinda fucks with the plot.

Yeah, Gal Godot is a Jewess and served in the IDF, but she was a sweet piece of ass.

It makes no sense to me either - such is the woke.

Snow White is bombing so bad there were theaters with NO SEATS sold during the first few showings.

Patrick says

And the Evil Queen is twice her age (Galdot, almost 40; Zeigler, early 20s)

So bad, the BBC thinks it's Marxist Subversion:

Why isn't Hollywood learning? This movie began production in 2022, and with most Disney Flops, was long delayed and went into constant reshoots lasting years.

IF Hollywood realizes we're in the post woke era, we probably got at least another year of Woke Flops before they unfuck themselves.

Arrogance.

No - it's Globohomo. Trans-faggotry. Pick a women who is all but a man, completely lacking in the traditionally attractive feminine aspects.

Back in the day, chicks would feel less than feminine if they didn't have the biscuits and the bootay. Nowadays, perhaps androgyny is a badge of globohomo honor.

Probably a lot of the costs were sunk and they estimated it was more economically advantageous to go ahead with finishing production and distributing the Snow White movie.

Its first week box office receipts are around $89 million versus a budget of about $240 million. My guess it will lose at least $80 million.

Disney made $1.7 Billion from Inside Out 2 in 2024 with a $200 billion budget so I estimate they made at least a $550 million profit from that movie.

That likely compensated for the hundreds of millions of losses in 2024 from the rest of its movies that were flops.

Don't forget that what is traditionally 'Disney' is only a small part of their vast media empire. So long as the share price holds up and the dividends keep coming - despite this fiasco - shareholders just won't give a fuck.

I've been following Disney stock for at least 25 years.

Disney is at the same stock price as in January 2015 and its dividend is only around 1%, and its down +50% from its all time high set in 2021 :-/

It stock moved sideways from 1997 to 2011, so maybe it will break out again under the leadership of Iger.

It's the Jew mutual fund managers voting in favor of DEI requirements during those proxy voting stuff.

It's official, Snow White is a massive bomb that will never repay the investment of $370M.

Keep in mind, it was in production since 2022. They've been managing expectations for months on this one.

JEW Funder Peltz failed to seize board seats on Disney last year, claiming the company was out of touch with families and Disney's repeated failure to stick to the old tried and true formulas:

Lots of good things are happening. Kathleen Kennedy has her portfolio snatched away, and her counterpart at Amazon Streaming got canned.

This is the end of the woke era, esp. now as there will be actual financial performance pressure.

I just don't comprehend movie costs. $370M?? I get marketing, actors, crew, food, etc. but that just seems stupid. Should be a $50M proposition worst case. Besides the actors, most the crew is salaried by the company they work for. Those costs are generally set.

Sounds like a poorly run movie based on that number. Or they're greasing the wheels of buddies on the back of shareholders. I don't really care about the wokeness aspect as that will eventually go away. A vocal minority has a limited time and it's running out. I think they know it.

I think on this movie they did a lot of rewrites and stuff, dragging out the timeline and costs. Just one factor though.

More important than the monetary loss, this is a fatal indictment of Disney: complete creative and moral bankruptcy. The story that catapulted Disney to fame and fortune has now, in its woke reimagining, become the company's biggest failure.



Legendary woke failures deserve legendary memes.

Idiots.

They just need to fire the woke fucks that make them.

This is probably why Walt rotoscoped the original Snow White actress back in the 1930's - so he didn't have to deal with her bullshit post-production.

They still don't ficking learn.

Yes, this is real, not parody. Film to be released in November. And Disney owns it.

They released Prey[2022] and it was anti-white male woke as fuck, too.

Yeah, 20th Century Films is owned by Disney. And the movie Prey was not released in theaters on a $65 million budget, so consider it at least a $50 million loss (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prey(2022_film)#Release).

And Disney stock price is at October 2014 levels, like the 1995 to 2009 price slump (where it was $17 a share in both years).

Disney is just a barely profitable employer for the creative LGBQT population and Woke types..

20th Century Films is releasing this movie on Hulu and Disney+ this June : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predator:_Killer_of_Killers

Then yes, they release the Predator Badlands this November: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predator:_Badlands
