Disney's About To Take Yet Another Multi-Million Dollar Loss With Snow White

There's no two ways about it. Given the budget and marketing costs, Disney is going to lose a fortune. Hundreds of millions of dollars potentially.
If Disney executives were smart, they'd learn some very valuable lessons from this latest disaster. Stop trying to make every remake for "modern audiences," because that "modern audience," a woke, progressive archetype, represents a vanishingly small percentage of the American public. Stop hiring actors and actresses that hate the material they're working on. Stop spitting on what made you the dominant family entertainment company.
It sounds simple enough, right? For outside observers not consumed with using their progressive ideology to relentlessly pat themselves on the back, celebrating what a wonderful person their political views make them, it is. For Disney? Who knows.

It simply blows my mind that the company doesn’t do a straight up, no frills, traditional Disney princess musical based off of some classic fairy tail character like the princess and the pea or something. Get someone good like Menken or Miranda or anyone established to do the score as that’s what drives these movies. The tickets, toys, park exposure would all get a huge bump.
This isn’t a hard to formula to print money at all.

Inb4 Corinthians shows up to post an opposing view to this.
She is incapable of simply saying, “yea, they fricked this whole thing up”.

They could toss in some clever twists here or there & still remain faithful to the original, but that’d take effort & talent.

This is not a hard formula. There is no shortage of little girls born every year. These little girls and their families consume these movies and their related properties like crazy. Yet they refuse to cater to this goldmine for the last decade plus since frozen.

It did.
In 2007.
Enchanted.
Fantastic movie.
Then they killed off the plan to add Giselle to the Disney Princesses because they didn't want to pay Amy Adams for her likeness into perpetuity.

this was was just a time bomb
eventually they were going to have to eat it if they wanted to try and recoup even a fraction of their loses.

They need to destroy the history first then they can move on to making their own stuff.

I have no doubt that the article will, in time, be correct.
But who is currently buying $45 million worth of tickets to this movie if not the exact demographic you say isn't being catered to? Isn't a problem that the marketing has only catered to small children?
On a different note, publishing this article one day into a theatrical run is dumb. Everyone wrote this style of article a week into the Elemental theatrical run and had to eat shite. Everyone thought Mufasa was dead after a week, and it's still in theaters and has made $700. Unlike every other major studio, which put their expensive failures on pvod very quickly, Disney seems to be committed to keeping their films in theaters to get as much money as they can. If it opens to roughly $100 million worldwide, I doubt it could ever turn a profit in theaters, but Disney is going to leave it there as an option for families well into the summer. Critics don't seem to like; the adult men here don't seem to like it. We have no idea how actual kids and families will respond. I would have waited a couple weeks before writing this clickbait article, but then, I guess they wouldn't have gotten all the clicks from the adult men pretending to care about this film at that point.

But a drop in the bucket compared to the money this movie should be printing. Disney could actually learn a lot from Illumination.

It's easy to understand when you recognize that Disney is managed by ultra-leftists who's goal is to brainwash the world with their liberal progressive ideology.

Normally I would say it’s never too late….. but Disney has screwed up so many things; people have moved on AND will not go back. Too many options in a day and age where the dollar is stretched thin.

Down to 2.3 on IMDb

Yeah the trolls and incels have ruined the rating system.
76% of the reviews gave it 1 star. At least half of those people didn't even watch it.
Our 2 board members that did watch it said they enjoyed it.
Even if someone didn't like it theyd prolly give it 3 stars.
I used to be able to semi trust the reviews to decide what I should watch but now its impossible.

Let’s do a simple math problem. If you invest $300 million to create and put on sale a product, but only sale $45 million worth of said product, what is your overall ROI and GP percentage?
I’ll wait.
