The woke Rachel Zegler-led remake of Snow White has reached a humiliating new low after failing to ignite at the box office.
The Disney Live-action remake of the 1937 cartoon classic has earned a dubious new honor – with the current lowest IMDb rating of all-time at 1.6 out of 10 with over 270 reviews.
IMDb ratings are determined by aggregating user-submitted ratings on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest, and then applying a weighted average to produce a final rating for each title.
The current fiveĀ lowest rated moviesĀ on the IMDb charts are: Disaster Movie (2008) with 1.9 on 96K reviews, Manos: The Hands Of Fate (1966) with 1.7 on 38K reviews, Birdemic: Shock And Terror (2010) with 1.7 on 26K reviews, Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 (2004) with 1.5 on 32K reviews, and Kirk Cameron’s SavingĀ ChristmasĀ (2014) with 1.3 on 17K reviews.
This comes amid news that Snow White had suffered a steep fall at the weekend box office while theĀ Jason Statham-led action movie A Working Man clinched the top spot with $15.2 million as it made it’s big screen debut.
The controversial Disney film grossed just $14.2M at the domestic box office – a 66.4% decline from it’s previous weekend, according toĀ Box Office Mojo.
The woke Rachel Zegler led remake of Snow White has reached a new low as it has suffered a steep fall at the weekend box office with a paltry $14.2million in its second week at the box office.
Last week the film – which had a budget of $250 million – hit the number one spot,Ā but with a disappointing $43M domestic gross.
The film, which has faced criticism of being ‘woke’, starsĀ Rachel ZeglerĀ as the titular Snow White while Gal Gadot portrays the Evil Queen and has grossed a total ofĀ $66,814,583 domestically since it’s release.
Meanwhile, A Working Man, which was released on March 28 and sees Statham play a construction worker returning to his counter-terrorism ways to find a missing girl, earned $15,215,874.
Coming in third place was The Chosen: Last Supper – Part 1, a TV series based on Jesus’ life that earned $11,492,369 at the box office. Like A Working Man, it hit theatres on March 28.
Reddit threads, Disney forums, and entertainment newsfeeds have since been ablaze with scathing commentary, with one user encapsulating the sentiment: ‘A perfect storm of bad ideas gets exactly what it deserves.’
The perfect storm appears to have begun in 2021 with Zegler’s casting.
While Disney heralded the choice of a Colombian-Polish American actress to play the titular heroine of a German fairy tale as progressive, others declared it to be another instance of Hollywood’s ‘woke’ agenda.
The backlash intensified when Zegler, in a since-deleted tweet, wrote: ‘yes i am snow white no i am not bleaching my skin for the role.’
Zegler didn’t merely star in the film but also criticized its 1937 animated predecessor, dismissing its themes of true love and Prince Charming as ‘weird’ and outdated.

Fans responded with horror after the news broke about the film’s dire rating
Snow Whiteās hefty $250 million price tag means that the movie would set Disney at least $115 million in losses by some estimates. This commercial outlook has reportedly discouraged Disney executives from fast-tracking aĀ TangledĀ live-action movie, with the project already reportedly canned. As it stands,Ā Snow WhiteĀ needs less than $20 million to beat 2000āsĀ 102 DalmatiansĀ and $30 million to edge past 2018āsĀ Christopher RobinĀ a benchmark that would spare it the title of lowest-grossing non-pandemic-era Disney remake. It probably will, but thatās an extremely low bar for what was once positioned as one of the most anticipated movies of the year when it was first announced.
