Snow White
Snow White ’s unsatisfying box office functioning means that it in all likelihood will not attain a rare Disney resilient - activeness effort . WithSnow White ’s budgetreportedly being between $ 240 and $ 270 million , the live - action at law remaking already had a high prevention needed to break even , let alone to make a profit . Even before the movie was issue , Snow White ’s various controversiesdominated the discourse , which made its box bureau prospects even more challenging .
During its opening weekend , Snow White ’s box officegrossed $ 87.3 million worldwide , admit $ 44.3 million domestically . The Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot - led movie has now turn over $ 181.6 million worldwide(viaThe Numbers ) , and while the theatrical run is not over , it is still far from breaking even with its production budget . This means that the live - actionSnow Whiteis unbelievable to join a select group of Disney ’s springy - action remakes .
Only 4 Of Disney’s Live-Action Remakes Have Ever Gotten Sequels
This Includes 101 Dalmatians & The Lion King
101 Dalmatians , Alice in Wonderland , Maleficent , andThe Lion Kingare the only Disney live - action mechanism remakes to receive a subsequence , which position these four movies in an elect family of their own . Tim Burton’sAlice in Wonderlandand the 2019The Lion Kingboth grossed more than $ 1 billion worldwide . This extend to Disney greenlighting the sequelsAlice Through the Looking GlassandMufasa : The Lion King , withMufasaacting as both a prequel and sequel to its live - action predecessor .

This is especially true ofMaleficent , which gross $ 758.5 worldwide against a output of $ 180 million ( viaThe Numbers ) . None of these lively - action sequels earned as much as the previous movie , butMufasa : The Lion King ’s box officedid end up doing exceptionally well despite a tiresome start , with the movie making nearly $ 721 million worldwide against a $ 200 million budget .
Snow White Is Not Going To Be Successful Enough To Warrant A Sequel From Disney
The Story Will End With The 2025 Movie
Snow White ’s corner office performance will not give Disney the confidence to greenlight a continuation . SinceAlice in Wonderland , Disney has only greenlit sequel for live - natural process remakes that were monolithic box office succeeder and there is no indication that the studio apartment will be shift this tendency any time soon . It also does not help thatSnow White ’s reviewshave been for the most part negative , and without a strong box office or a strong receipt , there is small rationality to convince Disney that they should be invested in a subsequence .
Despite the disappointment of Snow White , it has not deaden my excitement for Disney ’s next live - activity remake releasing in May 2025 .
WithSnow White ’s endingseeing the titular princess ( Zegler ) restoring peace to the land and the Evil Queen ( Gadot ) being defeat , the remake has conclude the primary conflict , and does not cease with a cliffhanger that require a continuation . Of of course , the same could be said for101 Dalmatians , Maleficent , andThe Lion King , with their sequels happening primarily because of their predecessors ' financial success . Snow Whitewill not be joining the ranks ofMaleficentandThe Lion Kingand the remake of the 1937 classic will finally be a standalone story .
