Part 5/9:
Film analyst Caroline Reed from Forbes highlighted that, based on previous spending, the Snow White remake would need to gross roughly $340 million globally just to break even. This figure accounts for production costs after UK tax credits but does not include marketing expenses, which are typically massive for major blockbusters.
The staggering budget illustrates just how high the stakes are for Disney. Failure to deliver a significant box office performance could threaten not only this remake but future projects, especially if the reception is poor or critics pounce on the riskier creative choices, such as the CGI Dwarves.
