‘Snow White’ Gets a Digital Release Date Just Months After Its Disastrous Theatrical Run
After a triumphant 2023 that saw a series of massive releases, including Deadpool & Wolverine, Inside Out 2, and Moana 2, Disney returned to theaters earlier this year with its live-action remake of Snow White.

“In the heart of a dark forest, the lovely young princess Snow White seeks sanctuary in a quaint cottage belonging to seven dwarfs, escaping the wrath of her envious stepmother, the wicked Queen,” the film’s synopsis reads.
A Box Office Bomb
Released amid a myriad of controversies, Snow White was both a box office and public relations disaster for Disney. By the time the dust had settled on the film’s theatrical run, Disney had lost over $130 million.

While that number is obviously dreadful, there are still ways that Disney can recoup some of their losses, starting with a digital release of the film.

As with other recent Disney digital releases, Snow White will come with exclusive bonus content including bloopers, deleted scenes, featurettes, and a full-length sing-along.
What About Disney+?
At the time of this writing, Disney has not announced when Snow White will land on Disney+. As the studio lost tens of millions of dollars on the film’s theatrical run, however, they will likely want to give Snow White an extended digital window.
