You’ve probably heard by now that Disney’s abysmal remake of Snow White has bombed at the Box Office. The audiences who did see it, gave it two thumbs down in the IMDB ratings.
The Wall Street Journal reports that despite its commitment to DEI, the film “created a rift in the dwarf-actor community” because the movie doesn’t use real dwarves (as the Wizard of Oz did).
We’re economists not movie critics, but one of the subversive themes of the movie is that “who’s the fairest of them all” doesn’t apply to the beauty of the queen, but rather about economic fairness. The queen is evil because she doesn’t share her wealth. It’s an ode to socialism.
And it’s a towering flop – as it should be. The $270 million film made less than $45 million at the box office over the weekend.
