Rachel Zegler is facing significant backlash following the disappointing box office performance of Disney’s live-action “Snow White,” which has reportedly seen a staggering 77% drop in ticket sales since its debut. The film, which has been criticized for its portrayal of the iconic character and its diverging narrative from the original 1937 animation, has led to a loss exceeding $300 million for the Walt Disney Company.

In response to the growing criticism, Disney CEO Bob Iger has attempted damage control, but the efforts appear to be falling flat. As a consequence of the film’s underperformance, Zegler has reportedly been dropped from several upcoming projects, including “Toy Story 5,” a “Pirates of the Caribbean” remake, and other animated films. Industry insiders suggest that her association with the film may have been a significant factor in its poor reception.

Zegler, who has been vocal about her views on the film industry and societal issues, expressed her frustrations in a recent statement. She described the entertainment industry as “cruel” for women and criticized the backlash against actresses who share political opinions. “There is a growing level of unfairness in this industry, and many actresses are pushed to the wayside,” she stated, emphasizing the need for change in how studios handle criticism.

Despite her efforts to promote a reimagined version of Snow White, which she claims aimed to move beyond the constraints of the original story, Zegler’s comments have drawn ire from audiences and contributed to the film’s struggles at the box office. As the situation unfolds, many are questioning the future of both Zegler’s career and Disney’s approach to live-action remakes.

With the release of competing films on the horizon, including a highly anticipated “Minecraft” movie, industry experts predict that “Snow White” may soon be pulled from theaters. The film’s trajectory raises questions about Disney’s strategy moving forward and the potential impact on future adaptations of beloved classics. As Zegler navigates this challenging chapter, the industry watches closely to see how she and Disney will respond to the mounting pressure.
