The film has been in the headlines since its official announcement, largely due to the casting of Rachel Zegler, who is of Colombian and Polish descent, in the titular role. Controversy was also raised due to its depiction of the seven dwarfs and Zegler's comments on polarising topics such as the 2024 presidential election.

In a surprise win, Jason Statham's action thriller "A Working Man" topped the box office and knocked down the previous champ, Disney's "Snow White."

Statham turns another actioner into a stone cold hit, following on the success of last year's 'The Beekeeper,' which he also produced for Amazon.
