Actress Gal Gadot attributed the poor box office performance of Disney’s live-action remake of "Snow White" to pressure on celebrities to speak out against Israel amid the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Gadot stated that she believed the film was destined to be a "huge hit" until the backlash related to Israel’s war in Gaza affected its reception. Disney invested over $240 million in the production but reportedly lost $115 million. Gadot's comments sparked controversy and she later clarified her remarks, emphasizing the complex context rather than solely blaming anti-Israel sentiment. The discussion around the film's failure also involved other actors, such as Rachel Zegler, whose support for Palestine was cited as a factor. The situation reflects broader tensions impacting Hollywood and celebrity involvement in geopolitical issues.
