Shock pics of cinema bookings show the ‘hilariously abysmal’ extent of Snow White’s flop – as Disney reboot sells ZERO tickets during prime weekend slot

Shocking images of cinema bookings have revealed the ‘hilariously abysmal’ extent of Snow White’s flop just days after its release.

The Disney reboot of the classic 1812 princess fairy tale starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot launched on Friday.

However, the film has been criticised by some over the controversial updates, including the the Seven Dwarfs being re-imagined as a group of ‘magical creatures’ of all heights, gender and race.

The Mail’s Brian Viner hit out: ‘Disney’s contorted attempts not to offend anyone have somehow managed to offend everyone’ – and the sales prove it.

It currently has a disappointing rating of 44% on Rotten Tomatoes and doesn’t seem to be attracting fans like producers hoped for. 

One prospective cinema-goer shared on social media how the movie sold zero tickets at one point for a prime weekend slot, and just one ticket for another screening.

They posted on X: ‘Opening Friday night for Disney’s Snow White in IMAX. Only ONE person bought tickets for tonight. Yeah this movie’s gonna flop.’

Alongside the caption was a pH๏τograph of the cinema booking screen, showing just a single seat reserved.

They also posted another image of Saturday night’s bookings and penned: ‘And for Saturday night? ZERO.

‘I’ve never seen a major movie from Disney have this little interest opening weekend. This is hilariously abysmal.’

The post attracted over 13million views as well as hoards of comments from people who observed similar scenes in their cinemas. 

Someone else commented on the post and shared how their theatre was also very empty.

They said: ‘I have one better. Dolby Cinema and only a small handful of people.’

Another observed that The Chosen was also booked up for March 28 and included an image.

While a former cinema worker provided reasoning for the possible lack of bookings and said: ‘I worked at a cinema for many years. You’ve screensH๏τ for the 10:15 showing. 

‘That’s pretty late, and usually has much lower attendance. The busiest time is usually the 7 o’clock hour. What do the pre-orders look like for Friday at that time slot?’

It comes as another post on X shared a video of Rachel hoping people would ‘wait in line’ to see movies she stars in.

It was captioned with: ‘Prior to Snow White’s release, actress Rachel Zegler told her critics that audiences would wait in line to see her. Snow White is the lowest performing Disney movie in decades. No one waited in line to see it.’

‘I can only hope that despite my flaws and despite my cracks and my breaks and there are many of them, that at every premiere and every thing I do, people will wait in line to see,’ Rachel says in the clip. 

Another video post on X showed a large cinema that seemed to be vacant and was captioned ‘so many people here to watch Snow White’, before panning to show rows upon rows of empty seats.

One penned: ‘Snow White and the seven viewers.’

While another said: ‘Go woke, go broke – live from the box office.’

MailOnline approached viewers to get their thoughts on the controversial remake, and many were not impressed. 

Friends Shannon, 28, and Chelsea, 24, were left disappointed by the film and awarded it a savage one star rating.

Shannon said: ‘We didn’t like it. It was really not fleshed out. They stuck to the original, but then they added so many bits that lead absolutely nowhere.

‘It’s like there’s no intention. The story needed more purpose.

‘It’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs yet it felt like the dwarfs were there for ten minutes.’

While NHS worker Rachel Bulman, 50, gave it 4.5 stars and praised the remake as ‘really good’.

She added: ‘It didn’t take away from the story that says if you keep true to yourself, be kind and fair, then you can overcome anything.’ 

The remake has come under fire due to comments from Rachel Zegler and the absence of the iconic song Someday My Prince Will Come.

Back in 2022, the star said: ‘There’s a big focus on her love story with the guy who literally stalks her. Weird, weird. So we didn’t do that this time.’
