The Huntsman: Winter's War is a 2016 American fantasy action-adventure film. Billed as both a prequel and sequel to Snow White & the Huntsman (2012), it marks the directorial debut of Cedric Nicolas-Troyan.[a] It takes place before and after the events of the first film. The screenplay was written by Craig Mazin and Evan Spiliotopoulos and is based on characters created by Evan Daugherty.[b] Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, Nick Frost and Sam Claflin reprised their roles from the first film, with Emily Blunt, Jessica Chastain and Rob Brydon joining.
The Huntsman: Winter's War premiered in Hamburg in March 2016, and was released in the United States on April 22, 2016, by Universal Pictures to negative reviews from critics. Praise was directed at the visuals and cast but many felt the film was unnecessary. It grossed $165 million worldwide against an estimated $115 million production budget.
Plot
[edit]The evil sorceress Queen Ravenna's Magic Mirror tells her that her younger sister Princess Freya, whose powers have not yet emerged, is not only involved in an illicit affair with the nobleman Andrew, but is also pregnant with his illegitimate child. Freya gives birth to a daughter, but later discovers Andrew has murdered her.
In a grief-fueled rage, Freya's broken heart freezes over, and Freya kills Andrew with the sudden emergence of her powers—the cryokinetic ability to create and control ice and snow, sleet, frost and hail with her mind. Heartbroken, she leaves, building herself a kingdom in the icy mountains of the north.
Ruling as the much-feared Snow Queen, Freya orders for parents to be killed and their children brought to her castle so they can be trained as her army. She teaches them to avoid the pain of love that she had suffered; despite this, two of her best huntsmen, Eric and Sara, fall in love. Sara claims him in "marriage" by giving him her mother's medallion. Planning to escape to have a free life together, they are discovered by Freya. Eric sees Sara killed while he is beaten and thrown into a river.
Seven years later, after Queen Ravenna's death in the first film, Queen Snow White of Tabor falls ill after hearing the Mirror beckon her. Due to its dark magic, she orders it to be taken to Sanctuary, the same magical place that sheltered her and Eric during the events leading to her stepmother's defeat and death.
Snow White's husband King William informs Eric that the soldiers tasked with carrying the Mirror went missing en route. Aware that its dark magic can strengthen Snow Queen Freya, the Huntsman agrees to try and retrieve the Mirror; Queen Snow White's dwarf ally Nion and his half-brother Gryff accompany him.
Traveling to the last location of the soldiers, Eric discovers they killed each another with their own weapons. The trio is attacked by Freya's huntsmen but rescued by Sara, who is revealed to be alive. She explains that she was imprisoned by Freya and only escaped recently.
Sara has not forgiven Eric, believing he abandoned her. They decipher that he was shown an illusion of Sara's death while she was made to see him running rather than fighting. Eric convinces Sara that Freya had tricked them both.
The group goes to the forest of the goblins who had stolen the mirror. During the fight, Sara notices that Eric still wears the necklace she gave him. They retrieve the mirror and save each other in another fight. That night, Eric and Sara make love.
The next morning, Freya attacks and reveals that Sara had been loyal to her all along. Sara shoots an arrow at Eric, and Freya departs with the Mirror, unaware that she had purposely hit Eric's medallion necklace, which protects him from dying. At her palace, Freya asks the Mirror who is the "fairest of them all," resurrecting Ravenna, whose dark vital essence became one with the Magic Mirror when Princess Snow White vanquished and killed her.
Eric attempts to assassinate Snow Queen Freya, but is stopped by Ravenna, who begins to attack the huntsmen. Freya, who regards the Huntsmen as her children, protects them from her sister with an ice wall. As Eric, Sara, and the huntsmen climb the wall to retrieve the Mirror and help Freya, the sisters argue.
Ravenna lets slip that she's responsible for Freya's powers. Suspicious, Snow Queen Freya forces her to reveal that the Mirror had told her Freya's child would become more beautiful than Ravenna herself. She then enchanted Andrew to kill his own newborn daughter.
Outraged, Snow Queen Freya turns on Ravenna, who impales her. With her last remaining strength, she cryokinetically freezes the Mirror and Eric shatters it, destroying the essence of Queen Ravenna. As Freya dies, she smiles at a vision of her younger self holding her daughter as well as at Eric and Sara; her last words being, "How lucky you are."
With the death of the Snow Queen, those who had been imprisoned by her are set free. Eric and Sara are finally able to have a life together for the first time.
In a post credits scene, Snow White is seen standing on her balcony and the golden crow lands beside her. The screen cuts to black.

Production
[edit]Development
[edit]A sequel to Snow White & the Huntsman was initially planned with director Rupert Sanders in talks to return.[4] The sequel plans were changed in August 2012 to a spin-off film concentrating on the Huntsman instead.[5] Universal announced a few days later that they were not shelving the sequel.[6] Another report stated that Universal authorised a sequel[7] with Stewart set to reprise her role, but without Sanders to return as the director.[8] A script was written and production was set to begin at some point in 2013,[7] with the film to be released in 2015.[9] On June 4, 2014, Deadline reported that Frank Darabont, Gavin O'Connor and Andrés Muschietti were on the shortlist to direct a sequel.[10] On June 26, 2014, Deadline confirmed that Darabont was in talks to direct the sequel.[11]
In 2014 it was announced that the film would be a prequel titled Huntsman and would not star Stewart as Snow White.[12][13] Two years later, Stewart said that she voluntarily turned down an offer from the studio to provide a cameo in the film.[14] On January 16, 2015, it was announced that Darabont had exited the film after he parted with Universal.[15] Hemsworth and Theron were set to return for the film, while Emily Blunt was being circled for a new role.[15] In 2015 it was confirmed that VFX specialist Cedric Nicolas-Troyan was set to direct the film, whose last draft was written by Darabont, following drafts by Craig Mazin and Evan Spiliotopoulos.[16]
Casting
[edit]In 2015 Jessica Chastain was set to star in the film, Nick Frost was confirmed to reprise his previous role, while Blunt, who had been rumored to be interested, finally closed a deal to star as well.[17] On March 18, 2015, it was revealed that Sheridan Smith, Rob Brydon and Alexandra Roach were added to the cast to play dwarves alongside Frost's character Nion.[18] TheWrap confirmed on May 7, 2015, that Sam Claflin would return as William in the sequel.[19]

Release
[edit]On July 31, 2014, Universal Pictures announced the film's release date would be April 22, 2016.[12] In February 2016, it was announced that the film would be released in 3D in international markets like Germany. In Poland, the theatrical release was scheduled for April 8, 2016, which was the date for many other international markets.[26]
Marketing
[edit]On November 16, 2015, Universal Pictures unveiled four character posters for the film, along with the film's new title, The Huntsman: Winter's War.[27] Three days later, on November 18, 2015, the first official trailer of the film was released, along with two additional teaser posters.[28] A second trailer debuted on February 11, 2016.[29] Universal released a final trailer on March 22, 2016.[30] Hemsworth, Theron and Chastain introduced a performance by Halsey of "Castle" at the 2016 MTV Movie Awards.
Home media
[edit]The Huntsman: Winter's War was released on Digital HD in August 2016 and was followed by a release on Blu-ray and DVD on August 23, 2016.[31][32] The film debuted at No. 1 on the home video sales chart.[33] A Blu-ray extended edition (with DVD & digital HD) was also released with a run time of 120 minutes.
Reception
[edit]Box office
[edit]The Huntsman: Winter's War grossed $48.4 million in North America and $116.6 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $165 million, against a production budget of $115 million.[3]
North America
[edit]In the United States and Canada, early tracking suggested the film would open to $24–30 million, which was significantly lower than its predecessor's $56.2 million opening in 2012. The film opened in 3,791 theaters[34][35][36] and grossed $7.3 million on its first day,[37] including $1 million from its early Thursday night previews.[38] In its opening weekend, it grossed a lower-than-expected $19.4 million, which was about 64% less than the original film's opening.[39][40] Due to its underperforming opening weekend, the film lost Universal $30–40 million, with some estimates having the total losses at up to $70 million.[41] The Hollywood Reporter estimated the film lost the studio at least $75 million when factoring together all expenses and revenues.[42]
Outside North America
[edit]Internationally The Huntsman: Winter's War was released in a total of 65 countries.[43] There were some estimates that the film would end its run at about $150 million internationally, which would have been lower than its predecessor's total of $240 million. One notable difference was that while Winter's War had secured a release date in China, Snow White & the Huntsman had not played there and analysts believed that could make "some difference".[44] It was released in 18 countries two weeks ahead of its U.S. debut, earning $19.1 million from 3,969 screens and had No. 1 openings in eleven of them and second overall at the international box office charts, behind the superhero film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.[45] In its second weekend, it added 7 new markets and grossed a total of $17.8 million, falling only by 8% from its previews weekend and still remained at No. 2, behind The Jungle Book.[44] It was still No. 2 in its third weekend.[46] Its top openings occurred in China ($10.4 million), the United Kingdom and Ireland ($4.2 million), Brazil ($3.1 million), Mexico ($2.8 million), France ($2.6 million), Korea ($2.1 million), Russia ($2 million), the Philippines ($1.6 million), Malaysia ($1.6 million), Spain ($1.4 million) and Thailand ($1.2 million).[44][45][46] In China, it was in third place, behind local pic Yesterday Once More and the continued run of The Jungle Book.[46] It lost a large number of screens in its second weekend due to the arrival of three new local pics—Book of Love, Phantom of the Theater and MBA Partners—along with the continued run of The Jungle Book and as a result it grossed just $710,000.[47][48]
In terms of total earnings, its largest markets outside of North America are China ($15.6 million), the UK ($7.3 million) and Mexico ($7.2 million).[47]
Critical response
[edit]On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 20% of 220 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 4.3/10. The website's consensus reads: "The Huntsman: Winter's War is visually arresting and boasts a stellar cast, but neither are enough to recommend this entirely unnecessary sequel."[49] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 35 out of 100, based on 41 critics, indicating "generally unfavourable reviews".[50] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale and PostTrak surveys give it a total positive score of 72%, but only a 49% audience recommendation.[38]
