Part 3/7:
It’s essential to contextualize the Snow White projection. The $53 million estimated opening is contrastingly low compared to The Little Mermaid, which debuted at $96 million just two years ago. Given that Snow White comes with a production cost projected to approach $400 million, a $53 million opening would categorize the film as a significant flop. The stakes are incredibly high; should Snow White open below $58 million, it could aggravate Disney's recent struggles, mirroring previous failures, including the underwhelming Marvels.
