In the case ofSnow White, the gamble didn’t quite pay off.

Unfortunately, 2025’sSnow Whitehas significantly underperformed, only managing $83 million at the domestic box office so far.

Budget is a massive factor, since a movie that costs less to make has a lower break-even point.

When observing all these factors,Cruellastood out as a clear winner, whileSnow Whiteis unlikely to stack up.

Another essential factor to remember is that Disney really wasn’t banking on the box office withCruella.

The COVID-19 pandemic broke out in early 2020 and was still ongoing by the timeCruella wasreleased in May 2021.

Social distancing made going to the theaters difficult, and people were generally more comfortable staying home.

Disney seemed to hope thatSnow Whitewould make it.
