For a long time, whenever you thought of Disney, you could only imagine hits, but then came the age of streaming and many more movie options that have made Disney not what it used to be. Disney suffers ANOTHER box office failure so far in 2023.
The bad streak for Disney does not stop; the entertainment giant scores a new and resounding box office failure with its most recent theatrical release, which has come hand in hand with ‘Haunted Mansion’.
The Haunted Mansion movie caused a lot of excitement when it was announced, due to the huge cast it had in its ranks, making all the people excited, but after a long time it premiered and it was not what everyone would expect, causing Disney to suffer ANOTHER box office failure so far in 2023.
The reboot film is directed by filmmaker Justin Simien, with a production cost in excess of $150 million, but only managed a disappointing opening of $33 million in its first weekend worldwide, which has caused it to fall far behind the expectations the company had set for it.
In its first weekend, it has been outperformed even by films such as Barbie and Oppenheimer, which are already in their third week on release.
This film is based on the Disney theme park attraction of the same name. The film follows a single mother named Gabbie and her young son named TJ. who move into a haunted mansion in the city of New Orleans. Gabbie is a historian who wants to learn more about the history of the mansion, while TJ is a little boy who is excited to live in a new house.
