Rachel Zegler looked somber as she was pictured out in New York City this week, following the humiliating box office performance of her latest film, Snow White.
The actress, 23, whose strong political opinions have been blamed for the film’s poor performance in theatres, was spotted walking her dog, a goldendoodle called Lenny.
Rachel, who played the title character in the so-called ‘woke’ film, sported an oversized denim jacket over a blue shirt, a pair of large grey sweatpants, and Adidas sneakers, and appeared deflated by the film’s recent performance.
Her long dark hair was pushed back with a wide black headband, and she appeared to go makeup-free for the outing, sporting what looked to be a green star-shaped pimple patch on her forehead.
Disney is set to post a $115million loss on the Snow White remake after it faced an online ‘review-bombing’ campaign and threats from both fans of Zegler and her co-star Gal Gadot to boycott the film over their diverging political views
The studio spent a reported $270million on the film before marketing and distribution – but it has so far failed to break even.
Its performance has been so disastrous that the House of Mouse has even hit pause on the production of a live-action remake of 2010 Rapunzel retelling Tangled as it re-evaluates its current strategy.
Critical reviews of Snow White were mixed to start – with reviewers finding fault with the CGI dwarves and the modern updates to the plot that changed Snow White from a fawning princess-to-be into a feminist leader-in-waiting.
