Looks like fun but why on earth did it cost $157m, I think it would have stood at chance with half the budget, even $100m.

 

 

Oh yikes. Dungeons and Dragons all over again then.

You'd think Disney would be able to afford some goddamn lights.

This will make less than the Eddie Murphy HM movie.

Lightning is awful but it does have a very fun vibe to it 

 

Hoping It’s indeed fun and well made, could do well in August

The promo for this is going to be fun.

Every video looks genuinely fun, but God the lightning on this looks awful

Why on earth is this movie releasing in July, just a week after Barbie/Oppenheimer when August is so open ?

Because they want it out on Disney+ in October but at the same time they want a big theatrical window until then.

Looks fun and could surprise

The Meg 2? TMNT? Blue Beetle?

Prolbem is how do you raise the scare factor but not make it too scary for kids.

Haunted Mansion if my favorite Disney ride.

On Disney Plus they have a series called 'The Imagnieers". It is supposedly about how the Disney rides were diesinged, and it does cover that in great detail, but ti goes beyond and beomes a general history of the Disney Theme Parks, including the business angles.

The Haunted Manison might have been the most difficult of all the Disney rides to design.

Thye built eh mansion in 1963, but it was not until 1969 that it opened. Getting the effects they wanted proved to be more difficult then anybody imiganined. The empty mansion on New Orleand Sqaure became a joke in the LA media .

This film needs to move to the fall ASAP or it's going to tank hard. There's no buzz for this, its coming after the Oppenheimer/Barbie weekend. Just move it.

Dungeons and Dragons 2: Electric Bugaloo

Quorum was expecting this to be a big hit but I just can't see it. We'll see how it looks closer to release

[filmlover]

Mentioned in the tracking thread the other week that Disney is likely banking on this having a solid turnout from underserved demographics since everyone has probably assumed that the demographic breakdowns for Barbie and Oppenheimer will be very Caucasian heavy (the latter, which might be zero competition for this to begin with since it's rated R, seems especially certain to lean towards older white crowds). This won't open any higher than Jungle Cruise did (and in fact will perhaps barely hit $30M even if reviews are positive), but given that the release schedule after this is looking to be a potential wasteland until Equalizer 3, it could be one to look out for in terms of staying power.

i think that the name haunted mansion will remove some collections from the film since many people don't know what a mansion is

should have named it haunted palace or haunted big house

 

i don't understand why marketing department don't consider this stuff

… what?

 

I mean the general audience aren’t geniuses, but you don’t need to be an intellectual to know what a mansion is

 i mean that is fair enough and you raise an esteemed point 

I just looked up definitions of mansion and my opinion is 
'haunted big house', 'haunted expensive house', 'haunted large house' , 'haunted 7bedroom house' could also be good alternate names 

mansion, I don't know if it gives the scale of the movie y'know? 
When you say 7 bedrooms, you know that the scale is truly huge 

 

Anyway we are all routing for this movie but budget is a bit too high that is the issue everyone agrees on
