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, “Snow White” also opened slightly behind projections with $44.

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.

Disney's live-action version of the classic fairy tale Snow White has topped the North American box office chart despite a slew of underwhelming reviews. The movie has taken an estimated $87.3m (£67.5m) globally during its opening weekend, according to Box Office Mojo. Almost half of that figure came from North America.
