The first trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day is as remarkable for what it does not show as what it does. Fans hoping for their first official reveal of Sadie Sink’s new character may have to wait until the next trailer to see her in costume. Similarly, there are no hints that The Hulk will be in the film—just Bruce Banner. Instead, audiences get to see Peter Parker/Spider-Man dealing with the consequences of a world that has forgotten him.
After two rocky weekends at the box office, Disney’s Snow White remake is now projected to fall out of the top 3 entirely, landing in a humiliating fourth place just as Warner Bros.’ A Minecraft Movie prepares to dominate the weekend.
When a $250 million Disney tentpole gets embarrassed at the box office, it should be newsworthy. When that same movie is surrounded by controversy, audience rejection, and a spectacular second-weekend collapse, it should be the story. But if you’re Collider, apparently the Snow White box office is a cause for celebration—because Rachel Zegler just hit a new “career milestone.”
With Disney’s Snow White remake underperforming at the box office and facing widespread public backlash, a wave of Hollywood celebrities and media allies are now circling the wagons to defend its embattled lead actress, Rachel Zegler.
Over the weekend, Disney’s $250 million Snow White remake starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot was officially dethroned—not by a Marvel juggernaut or billion-dollar franchise, but by a modest-budget action film based on a novel by Chuck Dixon, one of the most celebrated comic book writers of the past 40 years.
After months of controversy, inflated budgets, and PR meltdowns, Disney’s live-action Snow White looks like it will be knocked off the top of the box office with a devastating financial drop—not by a billion-dollar franchise, not by an Oscar-bait drama, but by a Jason Statham action flick with a modest budget and a title that sounds like a Home Depot ad.
When Pro contacted me about being on The Pro Show this week (which as you read this you know I happily agreed to do), I innocently asked him “So what’s up?” and what I meant by that was “Hey, we KNOW the stockholder call was garbage, we KNOW Snow White is a goner, so is there any NEW outrageous dumbness from the Mouse coming up?”
But before we move on from here, I thought maybe, just maybe, you’d not be utterly surfeited (is that a word?) with the no-business-like-Snow-business story to join me on a little journey into the “What if?” universe and consider what could have been (and this is NOT yet another review of the awful film because I famously HATE reviews that tell you what the reviewer WOULD have made instead of dealing with what is there on the screen).
The Federal Communications Commission has officially launched an investigation into the Walt Disney Company and its ABC News unit, signaling a new phase of regulatory scrutiny over corporate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. The probe, initiated under the leadership of newly appointed FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, is part of a broader federal effort stemming from an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in January.
To the untrained eye, that might not sound like a disaster. Blockbusters drop 50% all the time, right? But here’s the truth: when your movie opens soft (and that’s being generous in this case…), a 53% drop isn’t just a stumble. It’s doom with good lighting.
The way Disney handled Rachel Zegler after her political social media meltdown stands in stark contrast with the company’s firing of Gina Carano.
The Rachel Zegler controversy just hit a new level—and this time, it’s not an anonymous studio source speaking up. It’s Jonah Platt, son of longtime Hollywood producer Marc Platt of Disney, publicly confirming that his father personally flew to New York to confront Zegler over her now-infamous “Free Palestine” post—and defending the decision with brutal honesty.
In a surprising shift from its previously glowing coverage, Variety has published a damning report outlining internal tensions surrounding Rachel Zegler’s behavior during the promotion of Snow White. The article, which dropped just days after the film’s underwhelming $85.3 million global opening, paints Zegler as a defiant and politically reckless liability—laying out a timeline of clashes with Disney executives, promotional controversies, and studio intervention.
In a shocking revelation that somehow managed to slip through the filter of legacy media spin, Variety has confirmed what many already suspected: Rachel Zegler’s reckless behavior didn’t just tank Disney’s Snow White PR campaign—it directly endangered her co-star Gal Gadot and Gadot’s family, including her four children.
