The film received two Academy Awardnominations for Best Visual Effects andBest Costume Design at the 85th Academy Awards. It was a success at the box office, earning $396.5 M. Although critics praised the production design and Theron's performance, the performances of Hemsworth, Claflin, and Stewart received mixed reviews, and Daugherty, Hancock and Amini's screenplay was criticized. Rotten Tomatoes' consensus was "while it offers an appropriately dark take on the fairy tale that inspired it, Snow White and the Huntsman is undone by uneven acting, problematic pacing, and a confused script7
