HOLLYWOOD - “Snow White” may be the fairest of them all with a leading $43 million in its domestic box office debut, but Disney’s latest live-action remake is off to a sleepy start.

“Snow White” arrived in theaters dogged with controversies, including criticism about the film’s depiction of the seven dwarves, complaints about changes to the nearly 100-year-old story and calls for boycotts because of co-stars Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot’s public stances on the Israel-Hamas war.

However, analysts at Variety.com don’t believe the deluge of bad publicity actually factored into ticket sales.

Robert De Niro’s R-rated mob drama “The Alto Knights” crumbled in its domestic debut. The Warner Bros. film failed to crack the top five, landing in sixth place on box office charts.

Elsewhere on domestic box office charts, Steven Soderbergh’s sleek thriller “Black Bag” is enjoying a solid second week on the big screen.
