Disney’s recent live-action adaptation of Snow White has faced a lackluster reception at the box office. The film debuted with $43 million domestically and $87.3 million globally, falling short of expectations. By its second weekend, earnings declined by 66%, with a domestic total of $66.9 million and a worldwide gross of $142.8 million.
