Snow White suffered a steep fall at the weekend box office while the Jason Statham-led action movie A Working Man clinched the top spot with $15.2 million as it made it’s big screen debut. 

The controversial Disney film, which is a live-animated remaking of the original 1937 cartoon classic, grossed just $14.2M at the domestic box office – a 66.4% decline from it’s previous weekend, according to Box Office Mojo. 

Last week the film – which had a budget of $250 million – hit the number one spot, but with a disappointing $43M domestic gross.

Coming in third place was The Chosen: Last Supper – Part 1, a TV series based on Jesus’ life that earned $11,492,369 at the box office. Like A Working Man, it hit theatres on March 28.
