Now you've really done it, Disney. You know things are going in the wrong direction when even podcast star Joe Rogan is calling for the Department of Government Efficiency to investigate your film budgets.
As reported by The New York Post, in a recent episode of his podcast with comedian Kurt Metzger, Rogan questioned how Snow White — a movie with such a bad script and poor CGI — could have possibly cost $250 million.
As they spoke about the film's arduous production process, Rogan played footage of the movie to see how the CGI of the dwarves turned out.
'Oh, wow, that does look bad,' Rogan said.
'Oh, it doesn't look real at all.'
'Wait, how much did this cost?' the host asked before sparking laughter as he joked, 'They should get DOGE to look at this movie. They spent $250 million bucks making that movie?'
Despite facetiously suggesting a government audit of the film flop's budget, Rogan remained incredulous as to how Disney could allow such a train wreck to happen.
'Imagine you spent $250 million, and you get some young girl, and you don't kind of talk to her about like, "Hey, you know, don't get political. You're young, and I know you have opinions about things, but this should be just about the movie,"' Rogan said.
The film brought in just $43 million over the course of its opening weekend in the U.S. and Canada before suffering a 66% drop-off in ticket sales for its follow-up week.
To make matters worse, the $250 million budget doesn't include marketing and it is unknown if the extensive delays and reshoots added to that budget. Estimates say the movie needed to make $600 million at the box office to break even.
With questions being asked and fingers being pointed, Disney executives may be looking to eat some poison apples of their own.
Unfortunately, due to their woke agenda, there won't be any Prince Charming coming to the rescue.
