You almost have to admire the commitment to the bit. Despite headlines screaming “historic flop” and box office numbers that could barely fund a mid-level Netflix pilot, “Snow White” star Rachel Zegler decided to slap on a tiara, hop into her trailer, and declare to the world that her movie is the “#1 MOVIE IN THE WORLD!”—complete with apple and snowflake emojis, because hey, why not commit to the delusion?
Sure, technically “Snow White” did come in first place during its opening weekend. But let’s not pretend the context doesn’t matter. You don’t get to brag about winning a race if you’re the only one who showed up and still pulled a hamstring on the way to the finish line. With no other major releases to compete with (unless you count a mid-budget thriller that made $4.2 million), this wasn’t a win so much as a participation trophy. And the worst part? Even with the whole weekend to itself, the film only managed to rake in $43 million domestically—a number that’s less “record-breaking” and more “studio boardroom panic-inducing.”
And look, this isn’t just conservatives throwing shade because Disney’s gone full-woke with its IP recycling. Even the usual Hollywood cheerleaders are quietly tiptoeing around this one. Media outlets are already calling “Snow White” one of the biggest flops in Disney’s history, right up there with “John Carter” and “The Lone Ranger.” Oof.
But Zegler doesn’t seem to be reading the room. Social media users were quick to remind her that the internet has receipts—and snark. The replies to her post are a masterclass in public humiliation. “What in the Hunter Biden have you been smoking??” asked one commenter. “You have the worst opening in Disney history.” Others mocked the film’s 44% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, or pointed out that even Dumbo—yes, Dumbo—had a stronger opening. One guy compared it to Dragon Ball Evolution, and frankly, that’s just mean. Accurate, but mean.

And yet, somehow, the response from Zegler and the Hollywood machine seems to be, “Ignore the numbers, trust the vibes.” It’s the same kind of thinking that’s been bleeding Disney dry over the past few years—spend $270 million on a remake that nobody asked for, alienate the original fanbase with preachy marketing and reimagined characters that barely resemble the source material, and then act shocked when the audience doesn’t show up.
Let’s not forget, this is the same Rachel Zegler who previously trashed the original “Snow White” as outdated and creepy and promised that her version would be “stronger” and more “independent.” Apparently, the 1937 classic’s crime was that the princess didn’t deliver enough feminist monologues. Never mind that that version is still beloved, still watchable, and didn’t need a quarter-billion-dollar budget to tell a coherent story. But sure, let’s reinvent the wheel, burn $270 million, and then pretend everything’s fine.
🚨🚩Disney’s Snow White is the biggest flop in its history, and it’s no mystery why.
They cast a toxic feminist, man-hating, anti-Trump narcissist who’s out of touch with reality and turned a beloved, traditional fairytale into a lame, woke propaganda piece.

The sad part is that the people footing the bill for this mess aren’t just shareholders and studio execs—it’s everyday moviegoers who just want to see a good film. And instead, they’re getting lectured to by people who seem more interested in rewriting history than entertaining an audience.
So, go ahead, Rachel—wave from your trailer and declare victory. Just don’t be surprised when the audience waves back… with a refund request.
