Live-Action ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’

[Vegas Disney Fan]

There was a new trailer released this week I believe.

I’ll have to look for it, I haven’t seen it yet.

I’ll have to look for it, I haven’t seen it yet.

Luckily we have a thread for that -

Elio (Pixar - June 2025)

Agreed. I really would like to see Pixar have a hit on their hands with this original story, but it just feels off to me. I'm not really inspired to want to see it and it just feels like it will not do well. Be happy to be proven wrong. I’d wait for the new trailer to re-decide. It does...

As a reminder, here's the inflation adjusted box office for some of the previous Princess live action remakes of the past decade.

Snow White had a reported production budget of $270 Million back in 2023, before it got sent back for a year's worth of rewrites and reworking after the last PR mess this movie suffered. Snow White is also getting a tax credit from the generous British government of about $55 Million. Assuming the past year of reworking and CGI work tagged a conservative $25-ish Million onto production costs, it looks like Snow White will arrive in theaters next year with a production budget of around $250 Million after its generous tax subsidy is accounted for.

If Snow White can pull in numbers like Cinderella (inflation adjusted), it will likely break even. But if Snow White only performs like The Little Mermaid did, it will lose money at the box office. Do we dare think Snow White could do Beauty & The Beast numbers? I don't get the sense anyone here thinks so, especially after all the PR troubles Miss Zegler has caused it.

Good you placed a question mark after the 250M.

No one (even Disney) has any idea how much over 250M they spent on this total mistake.

The trailer in better quality:

This one has earned the title of Disney's folly.

Wow. Still replying to the Untruthful Distraction?!

As usual he takes great liberties with the "data".

I deleted the post because it's not really my style but I agree with you about a lack of respect.

 

[donaldtoo]

Not to change the subject but who has seen the latest Jaguar Ad

Yes.
It looks kinda’ like a scene from “Zoolander” on steroids…!!!!!

ETA…
And “Zoolander” is one of my favorite silly movies…!!!

That’s why discounted Tuesday Matinees were my go to movie time, cheap seats and far fewer people in the theater making noise.

Got lucky last night. Fairly full, but fairly small theater, an entire family to our right. We were in the left two seats. All seats to our right were purchased, so I believe they wisely purchased an extra seat to keep people away from them, and we truly appreciate that! Kids were well-behaved and quiet. No one in the back was bothersome. It was a very unusual experience at this particular theater, and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Regarding the cheaper seats of yore, they were literally cheaper seats. I’m now sitting in a reclining heated seat and I’m sure that cost more than the old seats. ETA: and there are fewer seats per theater because they’re larger. We’re technically renting more space! They now have kitchens, and I’m sure that costs more than a popcorn maker. That said, the little bit cheaper prices of a few years ago would be nice! We always went on Tuesdays, and therefore went more often.

No, nothing political about the above paragraph at all.
Wise up to what…? Insinuating I and others are unwise for voting the way we did…? You snarkily referred to me as trying to be “clever”, now this…?
The guy that was voted in was already there for 4 years and the world didn’t end.
I mean, who wants to go back to a secure border, low inflation, low fuel prices, low energy prices, low interest rates, low unemployment across all demographics, no major wars in the world (both of which are on the precipice of escalating into something much worse)…?
Considering how messed up things have been for too many citizens over the last almost 4 years, most of those of us who voted are willing to take that chance.
The guy that won is now left with a total mess that he and his administration have to try and clean up. Nice “smooth transition”, Joe n’ K.
Funny thing is, if he had won last time, he’d now be on his way out, and the other half of voters wouldn’t be losing there minds, but instead dancing in the streets…!!!

The fact that you think anyone has the ability to lower inflation (worldwide inflation after a worldwide pandemic, no less, to which your guy contributed) tells me all I need to know.

See ya in Chit Chat.

How can I put this in simple Disney terms?

If the Tangled bathrooms overflow on the day manager’s shift, and he ignores it because he doesn’t want to get blamed for it - which then causes more damage and it spreads everywhere - and he gets one sponge but doesn’t order any more…

Then the night manager comes in, acknowledges the problem, has to pay a plumber, plus cleanup fees, plus pay to purchase and distribute thousands of sponges and hundreds of cleaning people all over the various lands of the Magic Kingdom….

You don’t blame the night manager for the expenses and resulting financial issues.

"A place of fairness."

Good lord I figured the rumor of the story being about who is 'fair' in a sense of being just etc. was too stupid to be true, but here we are.

 

[Tony the Tigger]

We can go back and forth on this all night.

We can, and you’ll still be wrong.

Or, we could have. But now you’re over, so we can’t.

End of discussion.

 

[Chi84]

And, your response tells me all I need to know.
The pandemic was in full swing for a good year before he left office. When he left. inflation was at about 1.4%. Went to as high as 9.1% under the current administration, because he flooded the economy with all kinds of printed money, then the “Inflation Reduction Act”, which turned out to be the “Inflation Explosion Act”. Throwing that kinda’ money into the economy is always gonna’ cause inflation on an huge scale, and the amount that was fraudulently obtained is never gonna’ be recovered, and contributed even more to inflation. People, literally, got rich by fraud, and we’re still all paying for it. Well, the vast majority of us are.
“Let’s just throw cash at ‘em, and they’ll vote for me again!!!”
It’s like he was the high school senior class president, and had no clue he was the actual POTUS.

And, yea, see ya’ in Chit Chat… as far as you know….

Which would be an exact analogy for what the incoming administration now has to do.
The previous administration spent almost 4 years not doing a damn thing to fix anything the pandemic caused (not bad orange man) in any measurable way, or the messed up policies they put in place.
Again…
High inflation, open border, high energy prices, high fuel prices (drill baby, drill), high interest rates, two major wars in the world on the brink, etc.
We can go back and forth on this all night.

And, as to your condescending “How can I put this in simple Disney terms?” opening.
Third time’s where I cut it off on insulting me.
Dig a hole, Tony.
That was pathetic.

He’s right though.

 

[Chi84]

No he is not right, he is most decidedly left.
You need to be more careful about how you word things these days.
“He’s correct though” would have been more appropriate, but I couldn’t disagree with you more.

As you pointed out, it takes time to correct a previous administration’s mistakes.

 

[coffeefan]

I feel like people have amnesia about how we literally had widespread shortages of goods and toilet paper during his first term. Oh, and he never built the wall. Let's see what happens when the blanket tariffs start happening and all vaccines become optional... Enjoy the next year everyone, because after that we will start seeing the results...

"A place of fairness."

Good lord I figured the rumor of the story being about who is 'fair' in a sense of being just etc. was too stupid to be true, but here we are.

It wasn’t a rumour, though. Zegler herself told us this months ago, as you yourself noted upthread:

“So, when we came to reimagining the actual role of Snow White, it became about the ‘fairest of them all’ meaning who is the most just and who can become a fantastic leader, and the reality is Snow White has to learn a lot of lessons about coming in to her own power before she can come into power over a kingdom.”

Why is it stupid?

 

[donaldtoo]

So, we all just roll with all the politicians blaming each other for the previous administrations mistakes…in perpetuity…?!
They got us where they want us, if that’s what most of the population thinks.
I think I need to try to be a politician…wait, closet skeletons…

 

[LittleBuford]

Why is it stupid?

It’ll be interesting to see how they deal with this in international dubs, because I’m not sure how many other languages allow the same play on meanings that the English word “fair” does. The original German, for example, has “Schönste”, which, if I’m not mistaken, refers solely to outer beauty.

 

[LittleBuford]

I think I need to try to be a politician…wait, closet skeletons…

In today’s world, that’ll probably help rather than hurt your chances.

That could be the most perceptive thing you’ve said.
