Rachel Zegler¡¯s Snow White has been through the wringer¡ªcritics trashed it, trolls had a field day, and the box office numbers were anything but magical. Yet, somehow, the Disney live-action remake still managed to become the second-highest-grossing film of Zegler¡¯s career, raking in a worldwide total of $142 million. Even with an underwhelming performance at the box office, Snow White has helped push Zegler¡¯s career global earnings past the $700 million mark.
Opening with $42 million domestically, Snow White suffered a brutal 66% drop in its second weekend, collecting only $14 million. That decline saw the fairy tale flop lose its crown to Jason Statham¡¯s action-packed A Working Man, which debuted with $15.5 million. Meanwhile, The Chosen: The Last Supper ¨C Part 1 also climbed the ranks, taking the #3 spot with an $11.7 million haul.
For context, Snow White¡¯s biggest opening competitor, Steven Soderbergh¡¯s Black Bag, debuted with just $4.2 million in its second weekend, while Captain America: Brave New World and Robert Pattinson¡¯s Mickey 17 struggled to keep up, both earning less than $4 million. Despite these numbers, Snow White¡¯s total earnings are still enough to land it just behind The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Zegler¡¯s most successful film to date, which grossed $349 million worldwide.
While Snow?itself may not be the blockbuster Disney had hoped for, it is impossible to ignore the impact it has had on Zegler¡¯s career. The actress, who first made waves with West Side Story ($74 million worldwide), has continued to build an impressive resume, starring in Shazam! Fury of the Gods ($134 million globally) and the indie thriller Y2K ($3.7 million).
With Snow White adding to her box office tally, it is clear that despite the relentless online trolling and controversy, Zegler remains a bankable star in Hollywood. Even as Twitter warriors continue to debate her casting, her career trajectory suggests she is here to stay. Whether Snow White¡¯s numbers improve or not, the real winner in all this is Rachel Zegler.
