The live-action remake of Snow White has faced numerous controversies, impacting its box office performance. Despite topping the North American box office, its global earnings of $87.3 million are below expectations for a film with a budget exceeding $270 million. The film ranked outside the top five in China, a significant market. These controversies include casting choices, political statements by the actors, and debates regarding the portrayal of the seven dwarfs. Industry consultant Patrick Frater suggested these controversies, along with the waning impact of Hollywood productions in Asia, have dulled the film's appeal. Reviews have been mixed, with a 44% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, although the audience score is higher at 73%.
A: The movie faced criticism for casting Rachel Zegler, who is of Colombian descent, as Snow White, as well as backlash over Zegler's pro-Palestinian comments and pro-Israel comments by Gal Gadot, who plays the Evil Queen. There was also debate about the inclusion of dwarfs in the film.
