Hey there, movie fans! Disney’s latest live-action flick, Snow White, just hit theaters, and it’s already making waves. The film raked in $3.5 million during its Thursday previews on March 20, 2025, giving us a sneak peek into its box office journey. Starring Rachel Zegler as Snow White and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, this reimagined classic is off to a decent start—but will it soar or stumble? Let’s break it down for you in simple terms.
A Solid Start, But Not a Slam Dunk
So, how’s the Disney Snow White movie box office looking? After that $3.5 million preview haul, experts are predicting an opening weekend between $45 million and $55 million in North America. Add in about $50 million from international markets, and we’re talking a global debut that could top $100 million. Not too shabby, right? Well, here’s the catch: with a massive $270 million budget (some say it’s even higher), this film needs to keep the momentum going to turn a profit.
For comparison, Disney’s The Little Mermaid (2023) opened with $95 million, while The Lion King (2019) roared in with $191 million. Snow White isn’t hitting those heights yet, but it’s still early days. Over at Spiky TV, we’re keeping an eye on those weekend numbers—Saturday and Sunday matinees could make or break this one.
Who’s Showing Up?
Here’s something cool: young girls are loving this film! Early reports show that 84% of kids in the audience are girls, which makes sense for a princess tale like this. Disney was banking on families and women under 35 to drive ticket sales, but interest from that group has dipped a bit—down to 52% from 58% a few weeks ago. Still, with a 94% awareness level, almost everyone knows this movie’s out there. Will that buzz translate to more ticket sales? We’ll see!
Mixed Vibes and Big Competition
The Snow White live-action remake hasn’t won everyone over yet. Critics gave it a 46% on Rotten Tomatoes, which isn’t glowing, but Disney’s been here before. Remember Maleficent and Aladdin? Both had so-so reviews but still crushed it at the box office. This one’s got a shot to do the same if families keep showing up.
Oh, and it’s not alone out there. Other movies like The Alto Knights and Ash are hitting theaters too, plus international markets will play a huge role. Can Snow White stand out? That’s the million-dollar question—or, well, the $270 million question!
Budget vs. Box Office: The Real Test
Let’s talk numbers. With a budget this big, Snow White needs to pull in around $500 million worldwide to break even, factoring in marketing costs. Think about Dumbo (2019)—it opened to $46 million with a $170 million budget and ended up with $353 million total. Snow White has a steeper hill to climb, but Disney’s got a knack for making these live-action reboots work. At Spiky TV, we’re betting this one’s got some legs—maybe not Lion King legs, but solid ones.
What’s Next for Snow White?
The weekend’s just getting started as of March 22, 2025, so there’s plenty of time for the Disney Snow White movie box office to heat up. Controversies about casting and changes to the dwarfs stirred some chatter, but that hasn’t stopped Disney fans before. Will this film rise above the noise and become a hit? Stick with us—we’ll keep you posted as the numbers roll in.
