The live version of the Disney of The Classic Fairy-Tale Snow White has exceeded the North American Box-Office table despite a multitude of disappointing criticism.
The film has taken about $ 87.3 million (67.5 million pounds sterling) worldwide during its opening weekend, according to the Mojo box office. Almost half of this figure came from North America.
But that it is less than expected for a film that would have cost more than $ 270 million.
The reshuffle of the animation of the length of the length of 1937 had seemed to be a safe blow before meeting a series of controversies as it approaches its exit.
The redesign of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs has become a flash point for social and political divisions, even before its global release.
This included criticism from the casting of Rachel Zegler, who is of Colombian origin, like heroin.
There was also a backlash on the pro-Palestinian comments of Zegler and on the pro-Israeli comments of the Israeli actress Gal Gadot, who plays the mother-in-law of Snow White, The Evil Queen.
And there is an in progress debate to find out if there should have been dwarfs in the film, live or in CGI.
On the magazines Aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, Snow White has a score of criticisms of only 44%, although the reaction of the public “ Popcornomier ” is 73%.
Head critic of cinema for The Times, Kevin Maher, said: “Believe the anti-hype, it’s so bad”, but David Rooney of Hollywood journalist called the film “Mainly captivating”.
With his frightening dwarfs of CGI and his confused tone, the latest live remake of Disney is “not calamitic” but is a “astounding mixture”, said the BBC Nicholas Barber.
