‘Snow White’ Opens to a Poisoned $43 Million at Box Office

Disney’s “Snow White” took a larger Friday-to-Saturday drop than expected and is now projected for a $43 million domestic opening weekend from 4,200 locations with a global launch of just $87 million..
That slide takes the film below pre-release estimates for a $45 million domestic and $100 million global start and doesn’t bode well for its chances to leg out to a theatrical profit against its $250 million-plus production budget.
While Disney did recently have a big comeback story with “Mufasa,” which opened to $35 million domestically and finished with $714 million worldwide, that movie had several weeks of holiday season play to take advantage of. “Snow White” could hypothetically leg out with families during the spring school breaks spread out between now and Easter weekend but will have to contend with competition from “A Minecraft Movie” in early April.
What’s more, reception scores aren’t as strong as “Mufasa,” earning a B+ on CinemaScore...
