Disney’s Snow White film tops box office despite bad reviews

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.
But that is below expectations for a film which reportedly cost more than $270m.
The reworking of the 1937 feature length animation had seemed like a surefire hit before running into a series of controversies ahead of its release.
The revamp of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs became a flashpoint for social and political divisions, even before it reached cinemas around the world.
