Jason Statham and ‘A Working Man’ take a sledgehammer to Disney’s live-action remakes

Hello! Welcome to The Box Office Report for the weekend of March 28-30, 2025.

1. A Working Man

Weekend gross: $15.2M
Total domestic gross: $15.2M
Last weekend: New release
Percent drop: NA

Led by Jason Statham and A Working Man, a slew of new releases bombarded theaters this weekend, knocking Snow White down to No. 2 — and bouncing films like Captain America: Brave New World, Black Bag, Mickey 17 and Novocaine out of the top five.

The opening weekend for A Working Man was right in sync with Statham’s previous debut. The film’s $15.2 million haul was only slightly behind the $16.6 million that The Beekeeper opened with in January 2024.

While it’s quite a ways away from what we saw from Statham’s Fast & Furious movies (Furious 7 with a $147.2 million debut, The Fate of the Furious with a $98.8 million debut and even Hobbs & Shaw with a $60 million debut), $15.2 million was enough for A Working Man to win the weekend.

2. Snow White

Weekend gross: $14.2M
Total domestic gross: $66.8M
Last weekend: 1st
Percent drop: 66

I think it’s fair to say that Disney’s live-action remakes have run out of steam. If you thought Mufasa: The Lion King’s weekend-to-weekend performance was bad, Snow White is even worse. The remake plummeted 66 percent this past weekend, adding only $14.2 million to its domestic haul.

Mufasa at least had a $36.8 million second weekend thanks to the holidays to stand at $113.2 million through that point.
