Yep… it’s everywhere. Be interesting how Disney handles the premiere when she takes questions about the film.

That’s funny. Only 5 people aren’t obsessing about something that has no significance whatsoever. Okay.

To be clear I 100 percent condemn this and whoever commented that should be ashamed of themselves.

What does Disney view as insignificant leading up to the premiere of Snow White?

Again what is your point here? That Brody isn’t famous?
Also most of the rest of us pretty much concluded that Disney isn’t killing careers. So move on from that.

Snow White will do 600 million globally in business. Great for the movie theater owners.

Honestly, I hope so. As much as I have negative feelings towards this movie, I don't want it to fail.

Something is seriously wrong if Snow White (the animated feature that started it all) doesn’t do 600 million globally.

This is an absurd statement that it is difficult to believe is made in good faith.

Not surprising at all. We’ve had similar comments here.

I think you are overly optimistic

Snow White was historically significant but in no way shape or form is ideal for modern audiences. I doubt there have ever been a significant number of folks who are interested in this even before all the whiners came out of the woodwork.

The comp for live-action Snow White would be live-action Cinderella, which made $542 million a decade ago.
That's probably around what Disney was expecting when this was first green lit.

I agree that $500-600 million would be the ideal scenario for Snow White.
I LOVE the animated original, but in a post-Shrek cynical world most audiences would have a hard time buying an extremely faithful adaptation of the 1937 film. The movie started a lot of Disney tropes that have now become the subject of parody almost a century later.
But the problem is, a revisionist feminist version of Snow White in live action was already done in 2012 with Snow White and the Huntsman. Add in Mirror Mirror coming out that same year, and it seems like general audiences already got their fill of a live action version of this particular fairly tale.

A Snow White remake is a significantly harder sell then a Cinderella remake.
Cinderella is a product of a mature studio operating in the 50s, reflecting cinematic conventions that would be much more familiar to modern viewers then those found in a film from 1937. I love Snow White, it’s probably my favorite classic Disney animated film, but more than any other classic Disney animated film (with the exception of the Good Neighbor pictures) you need an understanding of its historical and industrial context to appreciate it.

Which means $728 million today.

I don’t think a lot of folks in this thread are particularly familiar with the animated Snow White.
