I'm waiting for the Disney remake of Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs... featuring zero actual dwarfs and a Snow White who doesn't fit the description. The woke Snow White decides she is female-empowered... and doesn't need a prince. The dwarfs are a mix of women, minorities, LGBTQ and all different races.
That woke Snow White remake Net Cost to Disney is $168.2 million.
"Snow White" must bring in $336.4 million to break even on its baseline expenses alone + post production costs and marketing costs (add another $20 to $30 Million). "Snow White" will likely be a big failure. I won't be surprised if it brings in less than $30 million on opening weekend.
Disney's last trash, "The Little Mermaid", only brought in $68.3 million internationally during its opening weekend. It was a box office failure.
Aren't they pulling a Sonic with Snow White and redoing all the effects to impose CGI dwarves over the non-descript band of mining folk they originally filmed?
No. The movie would be horrible enough if the dwarves were CGI.
Disney made matters even worse. The dwarves are all regular sized actors, who wear goofy costumes, big floppy hats, rainbow colors... you know the stuff. :>(
I know that, but I remember seeing something about the release being pushed back for 'reshoots', with the assumption being they're going to replace the actors with CGI dwarves because of all the negative feedback.
It’s gonna need more than that as I’m convinced all these woke productions have budgets way more than they are claiming. And marketing will be closer to 100 million.
It’s funny how shady Hollywood studio accountants used to make a profitable film look like a loss so they can screw investors over, and now they make box office bombs look like winners to push an unwanted agenda. THR will only report these losses many months later when the film is way out of the news cycle.
I think they already have that. I saw that posted already with the dwarves looking like bums.

So sad. How the Mighty have fallen all because they wished to serve Mammon.
Let them fall. I can deal with that.
"Simply having characters that aren't white or leads that are female doesn't make a movie "woke""
Yes it does, when the original leads are White or male.
I saw Wish also, not nearly as egregious as its being made out to be, Nothing like the classics. It actually demonstrates many parallels with todays society; give your wishes to the government for safe keeping and they will provide all you need. Those we trust in positions of power are not who they appear to be. When people stand together they can defeat the levers of control. My only real complaint was a bunch of R rated previews before a PG movie. What I did see was potential positive trend, many of the previews lately and trailers for upcoming movies seem to be much more wholesome content, far less wokeism.
Well when the whole point of all the remakes is to completely diversify every old movie that was too "white", then it is in fact "woke". If you are going to remake a movie it should closely resemble the original. Not, for example, take white little mermaid and make her black. That is woke. What these companies can fucking do is make some original content however they see fit and not ruin or bastardize the old classic movies. The fact that they insist on re-doing all these classics is part of the woke agenda. I am white and dont mind movies with "diversity". What i dont like is when it is forced, unnatural or one of everything in the movie with the white male portrayed as the retard and the woman or minority as they witty smart hero. This is what is now done in every woke shit fuck movie hollywood puts out now. Same thing with every commercial nowadays.
I understand this is not relevant to movie being discussed but woke was discussed. I dont think it's being over used because unfortunately our whole society, thanks to Marxism, has gone woke. All by design.
