It made almost 200 million worldwide and that’s 80% of everyone boycotting that racist entitled count.

It would have made more than Aladdin and finding dory and those made a billion.

Seems like a dangerous bar for success for a live action remake of what was originally considered only a moderate financial success at Disney. I know it's grown in reputation and popularity as the original millennial fans introduce it to their kids, but what level of dollars will that translate into? And what makes people think it will be any good, besides not having the tabloid negativity that Snow White did?


I honestly think Lilo and Stitch will do well as live action because it won't hit that uncanny valley like other Disney live actions. Even the animal based live actions feel fricking weird when they are on screen -- and the humanoid ones are fricking terrifying. Lilo and Stitch will just be ET because aliens are supposed to look strange. JMO.

Did the humans just march in place in front a green screen the whole time? The previews looked like Spy Kids in that respect.

I was the wrong age for lilo and stitch. Just a couple years too old so didn’t see it until I had kids. The remake honestly looks better than the cartoon to me.

Aladdin was a better animated movie than Snow White and honestly so was Finding Nemo.

Yhey came out when the people
who are currently parents were kids and they are oriented to boys and girls and modern audiences.

saying snow white in 2025 is as big as Minecraft is just insane

but it absolutely should have and could have made waaaaay more money.

But Disney has a massive loyal following that's been around for decades upon decades for kids movies. Minecraft is insanely popular yes, but it's not that insane to think a Disney princess movie would be able to compete with a Minecraft movie.

I think they fricked this movie up, but Cinderella was a white girl and it did nothing.

Snow White is more popular than Aladdin and finding dory. No one brought up finding Nemo.

No one said it was.

Snow White would have made a billion dollars with the director and people who did Minecraft because they actually like movies and money unlike the Snow White woke circle.

Dory is a sequel, they do well if the 1st movie is popular and finding nemo is hugely
popular.

But idk if Snow White is more popular than a lot of movies. considering half the child population probably doesn’t care that much about it.

Was the Cinderella live action they made super woke? Because it didn’t make close to a billion.

Majority of the child population knows about Snow White plus add in every mom and dad that knows about it that would take their kids. You have a billion dollar movie.
Unfortunately Snow woke now will go down as the biggest flop in movie history and we all know the reasons why.

They will write a book in film school about this story and their actions. How to lose hundreds of millions of dollars and ruin a classic movie 101.

Really? 3 yrs ago? I saw that & didn't see or hear anything about that.

Huh.


I figured it was more 'in game' stuff that folks were identifying with as it showed up in the movie.

I love the fact that Minecraft made more domestically in 3 days than Snow White made globally in 3 weeks!
