'Disappointed' Gal Gadot Says 'Snow White' Tanked For 1 Reason

The Israeli actor gave her version of what led to the much-hyped movie's poor box office.

Israeli actor Gal Gadot said pressure on celebrities to speak out against Israel tanked the box office for “Snow White.”

In an interview on Israeli TV last week, Gadot, who played the evil queen in the much-hyped Disney remake, spoke to reporters on the autism spectrum who asked about the flop.

“I was sure that this movie was going to be a huge success, and then October 7 happened, and what’s happening in all kinds of industries, and also in Hollywood, is that there’s a lot of pressure on celebrities to speak out against Israel,” she said, per the Jerusalem Post.

“You can always explain and try to give people in the world a context about what’s happening and what the reality is here, but in the end, people decide for themselves,” she continued. “I was disappointed that the movie was greatly affected by that and didn’t do well at the box office.”

Gadot spoke out in support of Israel before the film’s opening in March. She said the Oct. 7, 2023, surprise attack by Hamas that triggered a massive Israeli retaliation in Gaza would not keep her silent. “I was shocked by the amount of hate, by the amount of how much people think they know when they actually have no idea, and also by how the media is not fair many times,” she said. “So I had to speak up.”
