Snow White producer's son Jonah Platt blames Rachel Zegler's 'political' comments for film's box office failure: 'She hijacked the conversation for her own...' 

Rachel Zegler and Jonah Platt

Jonah Platt, who is the son of Snow White producer Marc Platt, openly criticized the film's lead actress Rachel Zegler for her political comments. And he said in a reply on his Instagram post that Rachel's ‘immature’ political comments affected the film's box office collection.

Disney's remake of Snow White, which also stars Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, was panned by critics and has not done well at the box office. In India, the film managed to collect only Rs 4.6 crore in the six days of its release.

Rachel Zegler had made pro-Palestine remarks, and it led to tensions between the Snow White co-stars since Gal Gadot is an Israeli. Gal Gadot also faced death threats.

Jonah had responded to a comment on one of his posts when a user asked him about a recent report in Variety magazine, which said that his father reprimanded Rachel Zegler for her political comments. The comment now deleted has actually gone viral.

In response, Jonah wrote, “Yeah, my dad, the producer of an enormous piece of Disney IP with hundreds of millions of dollars on the line, had to leave his family to fly across the country to reprimand his 20-year-old employee for dragging her personal politics into the middle of promoting the movie for which she signed a multi-million dollar contract to get paid and do publicity for.”

He continued, "This is called adult responsibility and accountability. And her actions clearly hurt the film's box office. Free speech does not mean you're allowed to say whatever you want in your private employment without repercussions. Tens of thousands of people worked on that film, and she hijacked the conversation for her own immature desires at the risk of all the colleagues and crew and blue-collar workers who depend on that movie to be successful. Narcissism is not something to be coddled or encouraged.”

Snow White, which had a staggering $250 million budget, witnessed a steep decline in revenue the week after its $43 million opening gross, which fell short of the $50+ million anticipated.
