The live-action remake of Disney’s “Snow White” had a lacklustre opening weekend, taking an unremarkable $43m at the U.S. box office. The film, which has been widely lambasted for being woke, cost at least $350m to make and market.
According to the Rotten Tomatoes’ “tomatometer”, critics largely favour the original animated feature films over their live-action, special effects-ridden remakes – with one notable exception, the 2016 remake of “The Jungle Book”, directed by Jon Favreau.
