Snow White may be the fairest of them all with a leading $43 million in its domestic box office debut, but Disney’s latest live-action remake is off to a sleepy start.

Overseas, it opened slightly behind projections with $44.3 million for a global launch of $87.3 million. Heading into the weekend, the film was estimated to collect $100 million globally.




Robert De Niro’s R-rated mob drama The Alto Knights crumbled with a terrible $3.2 million from 2,800 cinemas in its domestic debut.

The Warner Bros. film failed to crack the top five, landing in sixth place on box office charts. It is already shaping up to be one of the year’s biggest flops.




Body builder drama Magazine Dreams, starring Jonathan Majors, majorly stumbled with $700,000 from 800 theaters.

The film debuted to acclaim at Sundance in January 2023 and has since been promoted as a shot at redemption for Majors, whose career stalled after he was convicted later that year of domestic assault and harassment of his ex-girlfriend.




Steven Soderbergh’s sleek thriller Black Bag enjoyed a solid second weekend with $4.4 million from 2,713 venues, declining just 42% from its debut.

After opening at the No. 3 spot, the R-rated film rose to second place over the weekend. It has grossed $14.9 million so far. Focus Features, which spent $50 million on Black Bag, hopes that great reviews will help the film become a word-of-mouth hit.




Captain America: Brave New World landed in third place with $4.3 million in its sixth weekend.

The superhero adventure has earned $192 million domestically and $400.8 million worldwide, which ranks as the biggest Hollywood release of the year but isn’t quite enough to offset its hefty $180 million price tag.




Paramount’s action comedy Novocaine tumbled to No. 4 after last weekend’s first place finish. The film added $3.7 million from 3,369 theaters, dropping a painful 57% from its debut.

So far, Novocaine has generated $15.7 million and $5.3 million internationally.

Snow White is a certified Mega-Flow for Disney, only question now is HOW BIG the loss will be ... and for this, the House of Mouse are pointing the fingers squarely at Rachel Zegler!
