and yet the directors are the ones who are fighting a young actress cause they didnt expect their own movie to flop, now cmon

Hmm...Rachel is really Box Office poison. West Side Story, Shazam, Y2K and now Snow White... Thats like 4 out of 5 movies in her filmography. 

[Gorjesspazze9]

Theaters in general really are on the decline, unless it's a blockbuster event movie. I walked into my local theater last weekend and it was a ghost town i legit thought they closed early cuz it was just me and the concession stand cashier. 
 

I think Disney & Marvel will have all the top domestic movies until Jurassic and Superman. Kinda crazy Cap 4 is gonna be the Number 1 U.S. movie until the end of May

Such a stupid narrative to blame one person for a film's underperformance and then label them 'box office poison'.

Snow White bombing won't end Rachel Zegler's career just like how Aladdin smashing didn't start Mena Massoud's career

Plenty of people on here blame pop girls they dislike for the films they appear in bombing I never see anyone except the pop girl's own fanbase defending it  I will name two examples, Gaga's JFAD and Taylor's Cats, since those two are the antis of your fanbase

The difference is that those are blatant jokes for baiting fanbases on a forum like this, the other is attempting to be a genuine narrative. If you can't see the difference, there's not much else I can say.

So how much will Disney have to write off from that trash movie alone? 200M-300M? 
 

Basically wiped off all the profit from Stitch and Mufasa combined. 

[New Edition]

Does Rachel Zegler deserve all the hate she's getting and can someone explain to me what she said that made people hate her?

Disney don't have to write it off. They just won't make a profit. They will be fine. They have had multiple $100M losses before. Think your underestimating how much money Disney has. They will make all that back this year alone with Avatar and marvel movies, let alone lilo and stitch.

like all these movies that were mentioned had **** scripts and literally Zegler's performance were the only thing they praised. I read many Snow White reviews and they always praised her and her singing. On the other hand she was brilliant in Hunger Games and she received huge praise for that too. Give her a good script.

Another reason is there are very few good movies being made these years. Even if someone wants to go to the cinema, there is nothing to see.

 

For example now, we have:

• Captain america - okay, but everyone who is interested saw it already
• Mickey 17 - horribe base idea that never should have been made in the 1st place - of course people don't want to watch it
• Snow White - deviated from the original too much - of course people don't want to watch it

 

And that's it. Why would theaters have people in them when they don't show anything of note?

She just speaks her mind in public and social media.

Spoiler

Conservatives are made she isn't afraid to respond back to the hate speech she got for saying f Donald Trump, and bringing awareness to the Palestine conflict. But the big issue was that people were initially outraged Disney didn't cast a white girl to be Snow White, Rachel basically said she is an actress and is doing her job and people have a problem she won't back down from that comment  seriously they made a big deal because she is an actress trying to work. It's just more reflection of the political landscape of America right now. 
 

overall she is a PR disaster for that side, so Disney stop her from doing interviews and Marketing rollout for the movie to appease the audience that say they went Woke. It don't help that the movie is apparently horrible, and it's flopping. 

honestly I think the whole thing is overblown. The audience needs to stop complaining about these movies and just don't go watch them. Like why tf are grown adults just not watching or engaging in content you don't like. And all this over Snow White😭 Disney is to blame for not protecting thier actors or having a back bone. Just hire a publicist so she don't say anything that will further outrage them, and make better movies. None of the live action movies have been that great anyways so idk why people are shocked.

 

i could be missing some context, cuz I haven't really paid much attention to this massive controversy. Mainly cuz I don't care enough

True. This is exactly how I feel, if i wasn't a marvel fan i literally wouldn't have had any real reason to go this year, and it's Already April nothing good is coming out till May at least. That almost half of the year with nothing worthwhile in theaters.

Precisely. And it was the same case last year. I live close to a cinema. I have a friend who also loves going. We would be absolutely happy to go more often - if only there was something to see.

You must be new if you think this is going to lose 100M. It costed 250M in production alone and at least 100M more to promote and it hasnt even made half of that

I'm well aware of how the the box office and Hollywood work no **** it's gonna lose money. It's not gonna lose $300M.

[PokiTails]

Sonic 3 is at $491m box office now 

Hope we get Knuckles season 2 in 2026 with a hint in the end towards Sonic 4. Then start the roll out for the 4th movie.

 

So so excited.

It's not gonna lose $100M either. And no one wants to wake up to that number in their screen, not even Disney. 

[Gorjesspazze9]

I still don't think that will be enough. They need to innovate the entire theatrical experience, not just modernize. But actually do something that will truly compete with streaming. I think AMC is trying thier best but I do think theaters just won't ever be the hub they use to be. They are going the way of Malls
