The “hilariously abysmal” extent of Snow White‘s flop has been revealed by screenshots showing that the woke Disney reboot sold zero tickets during a prime weekend slot in the US. The Mail has the story.
Shocking images of cinema bookings have revealed the ‘hilariously abysmal’ extent of Snow White‘s flop just days after its release.
The Disney reboot of the classic 1812 princess fairy tale starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot launched on Friday.
However, the film has been criticised by some over the controversial updates, including the the Seven Dwarfs being re-imagined as a group of “magical creatures” of all heights, gender and race.
The Mail’s Brian Viner hit out: “Disney’s contorted attempts not to offend anyone have somehow managed to offend everyone” – and the sales prove it.
It currently has a disappointing rating of 44% on Rotten Tomatoes and doesn’t seem to be attracting fans like producers hoped for.
One prospective cinema-goer shared on social media how the movie sold zero tickets at one point for a prime weekend slot, and just one ticket for another screening.
They posted on X: “Opening Friday night for Disney’s Snow White in IMAX. Only ONE person bought tickets for tonight. Yeah this movie’s gonna flop.”
Alongside the caption was a photograph of the cinema booking screen, showing just a single seat reserved.
They also posted another image of Saturday night’s bookings and penned: “And for Saturday night? ZERO.
“I’ve never seen a major movie from Disney have this little interest opening weekend. This is hilariously abysmal.”
The post attracted over 13 million views as well as hoards of comments from people who observed similar scenes in their cinemas.
Someone else commented on the post and shared how their theatre was also very empty.
They said: “I have one better. Dolby Cinema and only a small handful of people.” …
It comes as another post on X shared a video of Rachel hoping people would “wait in line” to see movies she stars in.
It was captioned with: “Prior to Snow White’s release, actress Rachel Zegler told her critics that audiences would wait in line to see her. Snow White is the lowest performing Disney movie in decades. No one waited in line to see it.”
“I can only hope that despite my flaws and despite my cracks and my breaks and there are many of them, that at every premiere and every thing I do, people will wait in line to see,” Rachel says in the clip.
Another video post on X showed a large cinema that seemed to be vacant and was captioned “so many people here to watch Snow White“, before panning to show rows upon rows of empty seats.
One penned: “Snow White and the seven viewers.”
While another said: “Go woke, go broke – live from the box office.”

IGN reports that Snow White “may face an uphill battle to break even after a sleepy start at the box office.” It says Comscore figures for Snow White
revealed a $43 million domestic box office debut, which is the second biggest of 2025 so far behind only MCU flick Captain America: Brave New World and enough to top this week’s chart, but below the live-action Dumbo’s domestic launch haul of $45 million back in 2019, and below estimates. For context, 2019’s The Lion King, 2017’s Beauty and the Beast, 2016’s The Jungle Book, and 2023’s The Little Mermaid all secured more than $100 domestically during their opening weekends. It was a similarly sleepy start for Snow White internationally, where the opening weekend brought in $44.3 million. That makes for a total of $87.3 million at the global box office, according to Comscore estimates.
