Almost a year ago came Disney\u2019s live-action \u201cSnow White\u201d film, which proved a disaster \u2013 generating global box-office of just $205.7 million worldwide from a reported production budget of around $240\u2013270 million at the time.<\/p>\n

Multiple reasons were cited as being part of the film\u2019s failure \u2013 from the nearly century-old Disney IP, multiple \u201cSnow White\u201d adaptations in the past, the bad\/mixed reviews, and an online backlash campaign against the film that was in full swing well before release.<\/p>\n

That said, the over billion-dollar-grossing \u201cLilo & Stitch\u201d shows that the appetite for live-action Disney remakes is still there, but more for the 1990s\/2000s titles than for films that came out when the grandfathers and great-grandfathers of kids today were children. <\/p>\n

Now, a new report from Forbes<\/a> has cited company filings which indicate the studio will end up losing a reported $168.7 million on the project, as they indicate the film was \u201cforecasted to be over the production budget\u201d with costs adding up to $336.5 million.<\/p>\n

That said, the U.K. government reimbursed $64.9 million of the movie\u2019s costs, which brings its net expenses down to $271.6 million. Minus the studio\u2019s share of box-office revenue (an estimated $102.9 million) and that\u2019s how the loss was calculated.<\/p>\n

That said, it doesn\u2019t take into account either marketing expenses or home entertainment\/merchandise revenue. The filings go up to the end of December 2024 \u2013 three months before the film\u2019s release \u2013 and are said to give an \u201calmost-complete picture of its costs\u201d.<\/p>\n
