Rachel Zegler's Snow White tanks at box office
The Jason Statham-led action movie A Working Man clinched the top spot with $15.2 million (£11.75 million) as it made its big-screen debut.
The controversial Disney film, starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, is a live-animated remaking of the original 1937 cartoon classic. It grossed just $14.2 million (£11 million) at the US domestic box office - a 66.4 per cent decline on the previous weekend, according to Box Office Mojo.
Last week the film - which had a budget of $250 million (£193 million) - hit the number one spot, but with a disappointing $43 million (£33 million) domestic gross.
The film, which has faced criticism of being 'woke', stars Zegler as the eponymous Snow White while Gadot portrays the Evil Queen. It's also been hit by rumours of a political feud between the two stars.
A Working Man, which was released on 28 March, sees Statham play a construction worker returning to his counter-terrorism ways to find a missing girl.
Coming in third place was The Chosen: Last Supper - Part 1, a series based on Jesus' life that also opened last week.

Zohran Mamdani Used to Rap — and His Catalog Has Been Surging in Streams
On Tuesday night (June 24), New York State Assembly member Zohran Mamdani became the presumptive Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City, defeating a crowded field that included early frontrunner and former Governor Andrew Cuomo. As the race heated up and Mamdani gained momentum, a surprising part of his past re-emerged online: his rap career.

As old videos circulated online in the lead-up to the primary, curious voters were quick to stream his music, resulting in notable gains. In 2016, Mamdani released a six-track EP, Sidda Mukyaalo, alongside his close friend and collaborator Abdul Bar Hussein (who raps under the name HAB). On the EP, the pair raps in six different languages, while drawing from the members' shared Ugandan heritage — Mamdani was born in Kampala, Uganda, and moved to New York City at age seven. In addition to the EP, the tandem released the song '#1 Spice' on the soundtrack to the Disney biographical drama Queen of Katwe. Here's a recent week-by-week breakdown of on-demand official streams for Young Cardamom and HAB's catalog (which comprises seven songs), in the United States and globally, according to Luminate: Combined U.S. Streams for Young Cardamom & HAB's Catalog May 23-29: less than 1,000 May 30-June 5: less than 1,000 (up 10%) June 6-12: 2,000 (up 473%) June 13-19: 15,000 (up 582%) Combined Global Streams for Young Cardamom & HAB's Catalog May 23-29: less than 1,000 May 30-June 5: less than 1,000 (up 24%) June 6-12: 3,000 (up 312%) June 13-19: 20,000 (up 555%) Compared to the two weeks before the news of Mamdani's rap background surfaced (May 23-June 5), the duo's catalog jumped 2,300% in the U.S. and 1,543% globally. '#1 Spice' saw the most substantial gains in the act's catalog. Queen of Katwe stars Lupita Nyong'o and David Oyelowo, and was directed by Mamdani's mother, Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Mira Nair. Nyong'o even appears in the song's music video, alongside Mamdani and HAB. Here's a four-week breakdown of the song's streams in both the U.S. and globally: U.S. Streams for '#1 Spice' May 23-29: less than 1,000 May 30-June 5: less than 1,000 June 6-12: 2,000 (up 561%) June 13-19: 14,000 (up 557%) Global Streams for '#1 Spice' May 23-29: less than 1,000 May 30-June 5: less than 1,000 (up 29%) June 6-12: 3,000 (up 362%) June 13-19: 19,000 (up 556%) In just two weeks, '#1 Spice' surged by 2,600% in U.S. streams and 1,900% globally. According to a 2019 New York Times story about actress Madhur Jaffrey, Mamdani made his rap debut in the late 2000s while running for student vice president at Bronx High School of Science. He rapped under a platform that promised freshly squeezed juices for all. He lost that election, but it paved the way for his future political aspirations.
