Summary
Disney’s live-action Snow White has officially hit theaters… but the numbers aren’t exactly what the Mouse House was hoping for. Kristian Harloff and John Rocha are breaking it all down on today’s show! Did the online controversy and social media backlash play a role in Snow White falling short of expectations? Was the movie’s reception doomed from the start, or was it a case of audiences just not connecting with another remake?
The guys discuss the latest reports showing Snow White pulling in just $43 million domestically and $44.3 million internationally, landing the film at an $87.3 million global total—far under the $65M domestic target. We’ll talk about Deadline’s comparison to Dumbo, the CinemaScore, and the film’s polarizing reactions. Plus, did Rachel Zegler’s casting really hurt or help in certain markets? And what about those claims that the film overperformed in conservative counties despite the “Snow Woke” criticism?
But that’s not all! Kristian and Rocha also cover:
🦇 The Batman sequel update! Matt Reeves’ follow-up is now officially listed as an "Untitled Batman Film" under the Sci-Fi/Fantasy genre. Could this mean we’re getting more fantastical elements in the BatVerse? Clayface? Mr. Freeze? We’re speculating.
All this and more on The Kristian Harloff Show! Join the conversation in the comments and let us know what you think about Snow White, The Batman, and the MCU’s next big moves.
