Disney's latest attraction-based movie adaptation has faced an uphill battle at the summer box office.
The Big Picture Disney's Haunted Mansion has been continuing a recent trend of box office disappointments for the House of Mouse. However, the horror comedy film has finally passed a major milestone at the ticket booth, as the project has now generated $100 million at the global box office.
The film also had strong holdover weekends in the United Kingdom and France, where it earned $1.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively. The former's strengthening British box office weekend was likely aided by the U.K.'s National Cinema Day on September 2, during which participating theaters across the country saw significantly reduced ticket prices.
'Haunted Mansion' Faced Steep Competition at the Summer Box Office Haunted Mansion was likely destined to face an uphill battle, given that it opened in the U.S. on July 28, just one week after Universal's Oppenheimer and Warner Bros.' Barbie. The well-documented "Barbenheimer" phenomenon has been charged with reinvigorating cinema and helped push the American summer box office past $4 billion for the first time since 2019.
While the film still has a ways to go to recoup its budget, one thing that Haunted Mansion does have going for it is the staying power of an A-list cast. Based on the Disney Parks attraction of the same name, Haunted Mansion stars LaKeith Stanfield as an astrophysicist who is sent to investigate ghostly happenings at the recently purchased mansion of Rosario Dawson and discovers there may be more to the manor than meets the eye.
