‘Snow White’ opens with $16M domestically—fans roast, “near 300M budget btw”

Hollywood has seen its fair share of flops, but Disney’s live-action Snow White might be carving its name into the history books for all the wrong reasons. The highly anticipated remake opened to a lukewarm $16 million domestically, leaving both fans and critics scratching their heads.

With a reported budget nearing a jaw-dropping $300 million, the numbers aren’t exactly screaming "happily ever after." If box office trends continue like this, Snow White might be the biggest financial disaster Disney has faced in years. Naturally, the internet wasted no time grabbing its pitchforks (or rather, keyboards) to roast the movie into oblivion.

Snow White’s $300M Budget Disaster: The Internet Reacts

One viral post summed up the sentiment perfectly: “Near 300M budget btw.” That’s all it took for social media users to spiral into a collective meltdown over how bad things truly are. It’s not every day you see a movie struggling this much with a budget large enough to fund a small country.

The post went viral almost instantly, as people couldn’t believe their eyes. How does a movie with that kind of budget pull in numbers that wouldn’t even cover the catering costs? It’s the kind of flop that has people wondering if Disney accidentally included their office renovations in the production budget.

A concerned moviegoer asked the million-dollar question (or, in this case, the $300M one?!):

“So someone tell me how bad this is?”

The fact that people need confirmation speaks volumes.

Another bluntly declared:

“The flop of the century.”

If this box office trajectory holds, we might actually have to consider that statement factual.

Even the gaming community chimed in, with one person joking:

“Even haters will rather play Assassin’s Creed Shadows than watch this.”

Imagine being so unappealing that you drive people to spend 100+ hours sneaking through feudal Japan instead.

But not everyone was convinced by the numbers. A skeptic pondered:

“Eh, do we believe it? Idk, seems odd really.”

Fair point—perhaps this is an elaborate marketing ploy, or maybe the real twist is that Snow White is actually a heist movie, and the budget was just stolen.

Then there was this gem:

“I haven’t even seen the movie but I already want my money back.”

It takes a special kind of disaster to make people demand refunds for a product they didn’t purchase.

At this rate, it looks like Disney might need more than a magic mirror to get themselves out of this one. Whether the film picks up steam in international markets or continues its nosedive remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—the internet has already written its review. And let’s just say, it’s not a glowing one.

For now, the studio will have to brace itself for the memes, the think pieces, and the inevitable "what went wrong" YouTube videos. If things don’t turn around, Snow White might just end up in the same vault as other high-budget flops that Hollywood would rather forget. But hey, at least it gave us some solid internet comedy, right?
