Universal

Sam Claflin a.k.a. Prince William surprised fans, along with Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth, with a personal message thanking fans for making SWATH #1 at the box office. 

SWATH was successful around the world upon its release on June 1, 2012.  From trending non-stop on Twitter after the midnight release to kicking the tail of the 3D IMAX releases, SWATH exceeded all expectations grossing almost $400 million at the box office worldwide.  

Fans came out to support the modern fairy tale about a princess whose heart is pure is left no choice but to fight to save her kingdom.

Opening Day June 1, 2012

SWATHers from around the world took a trip down memory lane yesterday by celebrating the 1-year release anniversary of Snow White and the Huntsman.

The day began by reminding fans of SWATH's box office success with the retweeting of past posts including "Thank Yous" to the fans from Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth for making SWATH #1 at the box office. The day ended with two separate viewings of SWATH.

Spearheaded by @jenannrodrigues, other SWATH fansites including EB joined in a semi-marathon watching of SWATH.  

Fans had two opportunities to participate, via Twitter, in what was dubbed the "#SWATHWatchAlong." Fans expressed their feelings about the film as well as other subjects (the media's failed press junkets - discussed more below) during the social media gathering.  All tweets included the hashtag to denote the celebration.  

As a bonus, the hashtag trended on Twitter.
