Eddie Murphy is probably too busy with that Pluto Nash sequel anyways.

I can save everyone the time. It’s a loud, repetitive movie that doesn’t want to be spooky, isn’t funny, and is too long. It also has an oddly moving central story about loss, grief, and moving on. When it’s not overwhelmed by effects…the cast is good. But that doesn’t happen often enough.

Did $24.2 million for the weekend which is exactly the same as the original did.

Thought it was gonna suck, pleasantly surprised. Would definitely agree it’s just not that spooky, but that didn’t put me off. Good performances out of the cast, who other than Dawson are used rather well.

Good performances out of the cast, who other than Dawson are used rather well. That's fairly close to my thoughts. There was kinda this strange thought I kept thinking, "This feels like some Disney Sanitizing Focus Group decided that a movie about a spooky mansion should be as mild as possible" It was ok, I don't regret seeing it. They totally botched my tutti frutti slushy. Dude went way too heavy on the grape syrup. I mean, I like grape. But I didn't order "97% Grape Flavor up your ass with hints of other fruits".

Disney's one for six this year at turning a profit at the box office, with only Guardians making money. This is not feasible or acceptable in any way for a company.

Little Mermaid probably broke even at least, maybe even turned a slight profit, and by the time you factor in home video and merchandise and stuff Elemental will likely break even too, but yeah, Disney needs to rework their advertising and rein their budgets way in.

They're losing millions each month it seems like. The company is at a dork age similar to the 80s and 00s where nothing they do works and blows up in their faces as they okay bad idea after bad idea.

Honestly, I think being firm and upfront with their digital release plans would help tremendously. They kinda trained people that these movies would be streaming in 4-6 weeks, which is gonna hurt with people who are on the fence about seeing a flick. By firmly announcing you will not be able to watch this movie at home for at least X amount of time you’ll convert more people into ticket buyers. Although, I will concede their marketing has been very hit and miss this year. I barely saw shit about Elemental, and even Little Mermaid felt under promoted. But I couldn’t seem to turn around without seeing promotion for Ant-Man and Indy 5

Has anyone mentioned that the PG-13 rating probably did them no favors?
By slapping a PG-13 on "Haunted Mansion," it tells parents that this horror-adjacent fantasy movie (which includes a jump scare 20 seconds into the trailer) might be too scary for little kids.
But the PG-13 also hurts because it probably turns away adults who see the Disney logo attached to a movie based on a Disney ride and think "that's too much of a kids movie for me."
