Snow White box office flop sparks disaster for Disney’s future live-action movies
The live action adaptation of the classic 30s film has failed to perform at the box office.
The live-action version of Tangled has reportedly been put on pause after Snow White bombed at the box office.
Disney is believed to be reassessing the potential of other live-action movies in the wake of Snow White’s poor performance at the box office.
The film, starring Rachel Zegler as the titular princess and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, failed to replicate the magic of the 1937 original, grossing just $69 million (£53 million) domestically and $145 million (£111 million) worldwide.
This is against a production budget of $270 million (£203 million), leaving Disney significantly in the red.
Sources reportedly confirmed that pre-production on the live-action version of the 2010 animated feature Tangled has been put on ice.
The Hollywood Reporter states producers had started booking meetings with potential talent to star in the remake, however, all live-action adaptations are now believed to be on hold as the studio takes a closer look at its production strategy.
