Haunted Mansion, Disney's latest remake of a classic film, which was based on a ride, has opened with $33 million at the global box office on a budget of $150 million.
The cast for this movie is quite stacked, as it has Lakeith Stanfield, Owen Wilson, Danny DeVito and more involved, but it seems that nothing could pull cinemagoers away from the behemoth of Barbenheimer.
It is strange that Haunted Mansion cost even more to make than Barbie, but then again when you factor in the marketing budget for the pink fiesta Warner Bros. did spent a lot of money bringing this experience to life. Disney has had another flop of an opening with Elemental, but that actually managed to make a comeback over time. Perhaps when Barbie leaves the cinema, families will see what else is out there for entertainment.
