Jonah Platt Explains Why He Thinks 'Snow White' Failed
The 'Snow White' live-action remake did not perform well.
Jonah Platt — whose father [Marc Platt] was a producer on the movie — speculated that the box office nightmare was caused by Rachel's pro-Palestine and anti-Trump comments.
"Yeah, my dad, the producer of the 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 publicly for," Jonah said on Instagram.
Rachel Zegler played the title role in the 'Snow White' live-action film.
He wasn't shy in calling out Rachel, noting her commentary "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," Jonah added. "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."
