Rachel Zegler is having the last laugh as her movie Snow White climbs to the top of the box office, despite early criticisms and doubts about the film’s performance. While the movie’s initial debut was met with mixed reactions and a slow start, Zegler took to social media to celebrate its newfound success, and @PopCrave proudly declared the announcement as:

"#1 MOVIE IN THE WORLD! 🍎❄️"

Her excitement was met with a flood of online comments, both supportive and confused, with some fans still unsure about the movie’s actual performance. Under a celebratory post,@_NatalieWould remarked,

“But everyone said it’s a flop?”—a sentiment echoed by others who had been following the movie’s tumultuous journey.

From “flop” to the top? Fans hilariously react to Rachel Zegler’s Snow White box office celebration

The internet is rarely short of opinions, and Snow White’s box office journey has become the latest subject of hilarious fan reactions. After Zegler’s announcement of the film reaching the number one spot, Twitter users were quick to respond with a mix of humor and skepticism.

@horejsiii tweeted,

“The haters are punching the air right now,” pointing out how those who doubted the film are likely not enjoying the news of its rise in the box office charts.

But it wasn’t all smooth sailing—@HookedOnAllyy remarked,

“Now I’m confused cause I read it’s the lowest debut from a Disney movie,” reflecting the conflicting information that has been swirling around about the movie’s performance.

The confusion seemed to grow, with @jeremyp3t0 else joking,

“Because that’s the only movie out right now,” suggesting Snow White had less competition at the time of its success.

Critics of Rachel’s casting also made an appearance. One tweet by @hyunnie_hunny read,

“And they said they didn’t want her for that role…”, a direct clapback at those who had questioned Zegler’s casting in the iconic part of Snow White.

Still, not everyone was convinced, with @frankmarti41726 dryly pointing out,

“Weird way to say it’s on pace to lose money.”

This comment reflected lingering concerns that the film’s ultimate box office performance may not be as rosy as Rachel’s celebratory post implies.


Snow White’s box office journey and critical reception

Despite Rachel Zegler’s enthusiasm, Snow White has had a complicated box office trajectory. While the film did manage to reach the top spot globally, it opened to less-than-stellar numbers, marking one of the weaker debuts for a live-action Disney adaptation. The movie’s domestic gross was sluggish, and even its international numbers have been mixed. As of now, analysts are divided on whether Snow White will eventually turn a profit, with some suggesting it could struggle to break even due to its high production costs.

Critics have been equally divided. Some praised the film for its visual effects and attempts at modernizing the classic story, while others felt that it fell short in terms of pacing and character development. Rachel’s portrayal of Snow White(although the criticism was more so for Gal Gadot) has also sparked debate, with some lauding her fresh take on the character and others feeling her performance lacked the charm typically associated with the princess.

Yet, despite these challenges, Rachel’s celebration shows that she’s not letting the naysayers get to her. The actress has been vocal about her excitement for the role and seems determined to stay positive, regardless of the film’s final outcome at the box office.
