Box Office: ‘Snow White’ Awakens With $16 Million Opening Day as ‘Alto Knights’ Bombs
Disney's 'Snow White' remake, starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, is opening on top of the box office. Robert De Niro's 'The Alto Knights' is bombing.
It’s a strong enough start to put “Snow White,” which stars Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, on track to land within projections for an opening weekend north of $45 million; that would mark the second-biggest debut of the year behind fellow Disney release “Captain America: Brave New World.” But like that Marvel Cinematic Universe entry, the Marc Webb-directed fairy tale is budgeted like a four-quadrant tentpole. While the remake has become an internet culture war fixation (to the point that Disney scaled back press access at the film’s premiere), moviegoers seem to be leaning positive with pollster Cinema Score turning in a “B+” grade. Meanwhile, Warner Bros. is hoping to forget about it with the mafia drama “ The Alto Knights,” a crime period piece that sees Robert De Niro playing two identical (yet biologically unrelated) gang leaders in New York.
