Live-Action ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’

[BrianLo]

If Disney chooses to release this instead of writing it off, it will lose money mostly because of what it cost to make and market this film with the initial costs and reshoots (nothing to do with the characters or the story).

When you start out having to make 900M at the box office just to beak even, you are starting deep in a hole.

It’s about 30 million cheaper than mermaid (supposedly) and would have a theatrical break even around 520 million.

It isn’t cheap, but it’s not exactly horrible.

I must say my interest is slightly piqued. Given the volume of prior Snow White retellings including Greta writing this, they may actually be producing something a bit different and of actual artistic value with this one. Maybe. I want to have a first look on what direction it’s actually going first.

The talent on this one is surprisingly strong. The director I’m ambivalent about.

I think its prospects are actually a lot more viable than the Marvels. A female audience ‘may’ actually turn out for this one. Maybe more viable than mermaid internationally. I dunno… I think I’m talking myself into this might not be the horrific miss everyone has already decided it is.

Maybe this time they will coach Rachel on how to talk to the press.

We really don’t know the true cost of any movie. Companies state a “budget”, All that is an estimate of costs today.

Maybe in the old days productions were probably forced to keep costs down, when I watch “the making of” documentaries of older movies, a lot was about things they did to keep costs down.

Today, we never know the real costs of making movies, we never know how much they went over budget due to reshoots and post production , we never know the true costs of marketing so we don’t know how much this movie costs for everything in the end.

As we have seen, Disney does not care about their movie budgets, they totally care about their theme park budgets, but their movie budgets, nope.

All costs aside, IF they don’t write off this movie and shelve it never to be seen, I will have a look at it when it’s on Disney+ for free.

She’s not going to have a lot of practice, as she doesn’t appear to have any other live action films or TV series in production.

Rachel should just retreat to her basement and not talk to the press at all. I heard that's very effective.

She pretty much killed her career right there.

Ok...

Once the actors' strike was over, she was able to give interviews again, and there were no problematic issues arising from them.

I never saw a problem with what she said before. Just people looking for excuses to criticize.

Looks pretty dead to me.

So 6 movies in 5 years, most actors wished their career was that “dead”.

I’m sure her not filming now to star on Broadway is also somehow bad.

 

[BrianLo]

The cyclical aggressive commentary on all these actresses is obsessive and becoming a pattern. Let it go everyone.

There is nothing new coming since her comments last year.

Nailed it! And it only took two posts.

IMO… if it was not a Disney movie and there was no strike going on that was bringing little movie news… there would of been little hubbub about it… it all started from an interview that people missed when it was originally given

Nothing on the horizon after Snow White. This sort of proves the opposite of what you hoped it would

5 movies since her “comments”. Her original “comments” that everyone focused on were before the Hunger Games and Shazam movies even released, they were technically from D23 in 2022.

Plus as @lazyboy97o rightfully stated, she is starring on Broadway right now.

Broadway and Rachel Zegler.

Where’s Buddy?

No new projects since her “comments,” and in fact lost Paddington 3.

When’s her next film after Snow White?
