Haunted Mansion Movie

Welcome, Foolish Mortals! You may recall that back in 2020, we found out that Disney had plans for a new live-action Haunted Mansion Movie.

We already learned that the film will have a star-studded cast including Owen Wilson, Tiffany Haddish, Rosario Dawson, and Danny DeVito! Best of all, Jarod Leto is playing the Hatbox Ghost. Additionally, Jamie Lee Curtis will play Madame Leota.

Disney has done a lot of advertising for this movie, including an all new sipper, foodie treats, a special popcorn bucket at select theaters, and even a listing on Zillow.

Box Office Bust

Disney’s Haunted Mansion just scored the lowest opening weekend for a theme park-inspired movie since the original The Haunted Mansion movie with Eddie Murphy. The Hollywood Reporter reported a 3-day total of $24.2 million.

Disney’s Haunted Mansion came in with a 3-day total of $24.2 million in the box office.

With this low starting weekend, it puts it right under 2003’s The Haunted Mansion. The Haunted Mansion (2003) only earned $24.3 million.

Haunted Mansion (2023) cost $150 million to make, which is not counting the publicity and advertising budget. It has been thought that this movie would have to reach $314 million in order to make a profit!

Can this film go the distance like Elemental, which is set to be the biggest hit since the pandemic? Read HERE to see how well Elemental is doing now even after a mediocre opening.
