Disney's Haunted Mansion movie
 

Jesus that looks terrible. So this will be the next big Disney bomb, coming out this weekend.

160 million production budget.

I’d really like to see this. It looks much better than the Eddie Murphy one. It looks creepy but in a lighthearted/cartoony way. Probably what the Live Action Scooby Doo movies should have been like.

I totally forgot that even existed. Or maybe I never even did?



This actually looks better than the new one to me, SFX aside.

Ooooh, weekend #1 is done and it only brought in 24 million. Ouch! They're going to lose easily 150 million when it's all said and done here.

I seem to remember the original Haunted Mansion being a major underperformer coming hot off the heels of Pirates of the Caribbean.

Heh, guess it's that rare season where Warner Bros. knocks Disney around at the box office.

Not nearly as bad. The 2003 Haunted Mansion had a 90 million dollar budget, did 75 million domestic with another 80 million internationally. So it about broke even, at the very least.

I think the bigger disappointment about the first film was that there was legitimate hope it would ride the momentum of Pirates to become a similar global phenomenon. At the time, Disney was probably so proud of the idea of their theme park rides turning into hit movies that they didn't understand it's not just a simple formula of cranking out "another one." A lesson they are learning now about their live-action remakes of animated classics. Surprised they were willing to "go again" on the theme park ride experiment with an even worse result. Guess I shouldn't expect a new movie about "It's a Small World" anytime soon.

I went to see this with my children seen as we'd watched the other one a few times when they were younger, I was surprised that I liked it for the most part. I could appreciate the story being different thiswith the last movie not being (or at least seeming) that long ago.
