Disney's woke Snow White debuts to empty theaters, gets universally panned
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Disney's live-action remake of Snow White starring Rachel Zegler, which has been hit by conservatives as a "woke" version of the original movie, is projected to have one of the worst launches from Disney in recent years. Some reports have shown theatres nearly empty as the film has been mired in controversy.

Leading up to its initial release, the movie got an initial score of 47 percent on Rotten Tomatoes from critics, and Thursday previews only brought in $3.5 million. The film is projected to earn around $45 million on its opening weekend, according to the Daily Mail. The Dumbo remake, which Disney launched in 2019, only made $45 million on its opening weekend. The Dumbo remake, however, only cost $170 million in expenses. Snow White, on the other hand, cost around $250 million to put together.

Some X users over the opening weekend posted videos of empty theatres and low ticket sales in their respective areas. User Dr. Sydney Watson wrote in a caption with a video on Friday, "My Snow White screening lookin' a little empty."

Another user posted a screenshot of ticket sales in his area, which showed relatively low numbers. "Theaters where I am are mostly empty for this film," the user wrote.

Kangmin Lee posted a screenshot of ticket sales in his area and wrote, "Opening Friday night for Disney's Snow White in IMAX. Only ONE person bought tickets for tonight. Yeah this movie's gonna flop."
