Saw it in theaters and don’t remember the plot. Wasn’t it the same story but they added human sidekicks?
Pretty fair assessment honestly. First one had better music and the plot wasn't done great in this one.

I didn’t get the batlady or why she was there.
They didn't even use her really. Made no sense, and her scenes weren't nearly as entertaining as the giant crab scenes in the first one.
There is usually a drop off with a sequel, but this was like a nosedive off a cliff.

Variety has done a postmortem on the flick, and they’re brutally upfront about how bad things are:
Le Ouch.
Theres a lot in there about how Ziegler basically had handlers forced on her by Disney, and how Disney had to hire extra security for Gal Gadot after Ziegler’s Israel comments because of all the death threats.

Now that the film’s dismal opening weekend — $87 million worldwide — is in the rearview mirror, Burbank brass are evaluating what went wrong. To put “Snow White’s” global box office haul into perspective, it’s about $34 million less than Warner Bros.’ “Joker: Folie à Deux” in October but with a bigger budget by $70 million.

I would say the Disney executives in charge of this should be summarily dismissed, but they were just following orders. BlackRock, to be specific.
Global , modern audience
Race swapping.
No respect for source material…
Disney have been in a desperate move to dismantle their past so that they can, in their own eyes, reimagine for a modern time.
Only that’s not what has made Disney great.
The ties which bind traditional family values together have been tougher to cut and sever than they planned. All the They/Them affirming & attempts to erase the nuclear family have failed - Bigly.

With all due respect, you are a fricking moron. The idea that BlackRock is telling Disney what movies to make is flat-earth level bullshite.

Then Disney is doing all this on their own?
Great.
Why are you so fricking pissed off?

Disney will lose their shorts on this movie.

Disney is going to lose money but you are just throwing numbers around like you know what you are talking about. The movie theaters do not receive "50%". It is based on the contracts and terms and usually weighted. It is heavy for the studio in the first 2 weeks. That is why you cant use a free ticket for a new movie within the first 2 weeks.
The longer it goes, the higher percentage the movie theater will receive. Movies now do not last long in the theater. They go to streaming within 45 days. No way would Disney have a contract on this movie they know to be crap where they are not taking as much box office sales as possible.

Of course they don't literally make 50%.
But that is a really good rule of thumb to apply to the worldwide gross to determine how much the studio makes. You should estimate slightly above that if it does better domestically than internationally, slightly downward if it does better internationally.
Regardless, Disney is losing upwards of $225m on this stinker, maybe closer to $300m. And the acute monetary loss doesn't fully account for the continued damage to the brand.
I do think Lilo and Stitch will fare better and maybe become the big hit they need it to be.

I doubt BlackRock has someone in the room what to do, but they do invest/finance based on ESG scores. What do you think Larry Fink meant when he said "Behaviors are gonna have to change and this is one thing were asking companies. You have to force behaviors, and at BlackRock we are forcing behaviors"?
Saying BlackRock, a company with its hands in virtually every market, has no role in corporate decisions is either willfully ignorant or obtuse.

Because if it fits someone’s ideology they will support it theoretically even if they don’t support it by going to see it.

That's not how any of this works. BLK proxy voting
Fink's comments you referred to were typical bullshite and they have run from the ESG nonsense as soon as they started losing clients. FWIW, Disney is a client of BlackRock, meaning BlackRock gets revenues from Disney. They not likely to boss around Disney.

Yes they do, on average. International theaters take a larger percentage than 50 as well so it evens out.
It’s a good rule of thumb

Any truth to the rumor that Minecraft did twice as much in 3 days as Snow Off-White did in 3 weeks?
