Rachel Zegler’s Snow White Disaster Gets Worse as Disney Faces a $150 Million Loss on The Little Mermaid
Disney’s live-action remakes are spiraling into financial disaster, and the upcoming Snow White starring Rachel Zegler is only making things worse. The company, already struggling with The Little Mermaid’s $150 million loss, now faces another potential box office failure with Snow White.
With audiences growing increasingly frustrated over Disney’s forced changes, controversial casting choices, and dismissive attitudes toward classic films, is the studio headed for another financial disaster?
Disney’s $150 Million Loss on The Little Mermaid: A Warning Sign?
Disney had high hopes for its 2023 live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, starring Halle Bailey. The studio poured $300 million into production and marketing, but the film failed to perform as expected.
While it earned just over $569 million at the box office, the high costs meant that Disney ultimately lost $150 million on the project.
Industry experts say the film’s underwhelming reception was due to:
✅ Divisive casting and backlash
✅ Weak international box office performance
✅ CGI criticism and lackluster visuals
✅ Changes to classic songs that alienated fans
Now, with Snow White already facing similar backlash, could Disney be setting itself up for an even bigger failure?
Rachel Zegler’s Snow White Is Already a Disaster Before Release
Unlike Halle Bailey, who handled criticism with grace, Rachel Zegler has actively fueled fan outrage with her dismissive comments about the original Snow White film.
She has repeatedly:
❌ Mocked the original 1937 movie, calling it “weird” and “outdated”
❌ Belittled the Prince, saying he was a “stalker”
❌ Claimed Snow White doesn’t need a man, turning the story into a forced “girl boss” narrative
Fans were furious over her statements, feeling that Zegler disrespected the original story and its legacy. Meanwhile, Gal Gadot, who plays the Evil Queen, remained professional and excited about her role—leading many to believe she should have been the film’s main focus instead.
Disney’s Massive Changes: The Final Nail in the Coffin?
Disney isn’t just modernizing Snow White—they’re completely erasing key elements of the original
🚫 No classic love story – The Prince is barely in the film
🚫 No Seven Dwarfs – Replaced by “magical creatures”
🚫 Snow White is now a warrior princess instead of a kindhearted girl
Even die-hard Disney fans are rejecting the film, with many calling for a boycott.
Will Snow White Lose Even More Money Than The Little Mermaid?
With The Little Mermaid suffering a $150 million loss, analysts believe Snow White could perform even worse
📉 Low audience interest – Early reactions suggest major backlash
📉 Weak international appeal – The Little Mermaid flopped overseas, and Snow White might too
📉 Rachel Zegler’s PR disaster – Her attitude has alienated longtime fans
Disney delayed the film’s release to 2025, likely in an attempt to avoid The Little Mermaid’s fate. However, will delaying the inevitable really change anything?
Final Thoughts: Is Disney Doomed?
With Snow White already a PR nightmare and The Little Mermaid proving that audiences won’t blindly support live-action remakes, Disney needs to rethink its entire strategy.
If Snow White bombs, it could be a turning point for Disney’s live-action era—forcing the studio to either return to quality storytelling or face financial ruin.
What do you think? Will Snow White be another major flop, or can Disney still turn things around?
