The latest Disney film Snow White is currently running in theatres worldwide. The film opened to a really poor response from the audience and the critics due to which it is currently showing a really slow run at the box office. Snow White features Rachel Zegler, Andrew Burnap and Gal Gadot as the leads. The film is directed by Marc Webb known for directing the Andrew Garfield led The Amazing Spider-Man franchise.
