Disney's 'Snow White' Embarrassment Reflects Hollywood's Disconnect

Posted 1 day ago
The much-anticipated reboot of Disney's "Snow White" has turned into a significant embarrassment for the entertainment giant, showcasing just how disconnected Hollywood has become from mainstream audiences.
The film, featuring Rachel Zegler in the titular role, faced steep criticism even before its release due to Zegler's controversial remarks about the original film and comments made disparaging Trump supporters.
This negative publicity seems to have had a direct impact on its box office performance, leading to a staggering 66% drop in ticket sales during its second weekend.
With a hefty budget of around $250 million, "Snow White" was expected to be a blockbuster hit, but it has instead become a financial disaster, grossing only $66.8 million domestically within a couple of weeks.
This situation starkly illustrates the "go woke, go broke" mantra that many conservatives have adopted in response to Hollywood's increasing focus on progressive themes over engaging storytelling. Audiences appear to have reacted decisively; films centered around authentic narratives and characters resonate more than those burdened by a politics-heavy agenda.
Glenn Beck noted that the actress's social media antics, including a controversial “free Palestine” comment during promotional efforts, reflect a troubling trend of narcissism among public figures.
He remarked on the importance of personal accountability, especially when so many crew members depend on a film’s success for their livelihoods.
Ultimately, Zegler's actions have not only frustrated industry professionals but also turned potential moviegoers away from theaters.
The underwhelming reception of "Snow White" signals that audiences are yearning for a return to storytelling that uplifts rather than divides, indicating a growing resistance to the politically charged narratives dominating today's cinema.
With financial losses piling up, perhaps Hollywood will finally reconsider its approach, understanding that the country craves entertainment that embodies American values rather than panders to a narrow ideological agenda.
