Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - Main TitleBeginning HD

Following successful exclusive runs at Radio City Music Hall in New York City and a theater in Miami in January 1938,[1] RKO Radio Pictures put the film into general release on February 4. It became a major box-office success, making four times more money than any other motion picture released in 1938.[22] In its original release, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs grossed $3.5 million in the United States and Canada,[23] and by May 1939 its total international gross of $6.5 million made it the most successful sound film of all time, displacing Al Jolson's The Singing Fool (1928) (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was soon displaced from this position by Gone with the Wind in 1940).[23][24] By the end of its original run, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs had earned $7,846,000 in international box office receipts.[25] This earned RKO a profit of $380,000.
