That long-awaited, drama-riddled Snow White movie is finally out in cinemas<\/a>. The film’s box office takings are, erm, underwhelming. Here’s a through look at how much money the 1,000+ other Disney<\/a> live action remakes all made at the box office, for comparison purposes. Some of them did make ridiculous amounts of cash (hint: anything with talking lions in). Others really did not match up to the hype.<\/p>\n

The budgets of all these Disney live-action remakes have spiralled over the years. That 2015 Cinderella film with Lily James only cost $90 million to make. But that new Snow White movie has an estimated budged of $270 million, but it’s raked in less than $100 million at cinemas so far. There’s a lot more pressure for the newer Disney live-action remakes to do well at the box office.<\/p>\n

Believe it or not, Disney did also churn out live-action films called Lady and the Tramp, Pinocchio and Peter Pan & Wendy. But these movies went straight onto Disney+, which is why they’re not on this list.<\/p>\n

Fyi, the Mulan movie’s box office earnings are so abysmal because it had the misfortune of being released in September 2020.<\/p>\n

So, without further rambling, here are all the Disney live-action remakes ranked by how much (or how little) money they made at the box office.<\/p>\n

14. Mulan – $69.9 million (\u00a354 million)<\/p>\n

13. Snow White – $92.6 million (\u00a371.7 million) (so far)<\/p>\n

12. Cruella – $234 million (\u00a3181 million)<\/p>\n

11. Alice Through The Looking Glass – $300 million (\u00a3232 million)<\/p>\n

10. Dumbo – $353 million (\u00a3273 million)<\/p>\n

9. Maleficent: Mistress of Evil\u00a0 – $492 million (\u00a3380 million)<\/p>\n

8. Cinderella – $542 million (\u00a3419 million)<\/p>\n

7. The Little Mermaid – $570 million (\u00a3440 million)<\/p>\n

6. Mufasa: The Lion King – $720 million (\u00a3557 million)<\/p>\n

5. Maleficent – $760 million (\u00a3586 million)<\/p>\n

4. The Jungle Book – $976 million (\u00a3748 million)<\/p>\n

3. Aladdin – $1.09 billion (\u00a3848 million)<\/p>\n

2. Beauty and the Beast – $1.26 billion (\u00a3978 million)<\/p>\n

1. The Lion King – $1.66 billion (\u00a31.28 million)<\/p>\n
