Haunted Mansion

It would have been neat if they got Kim Irvine to be Madame Leota.

I think this could be a great movie, but also am 100% convinced it should be a Halloween release. You'd think Disney would remember from its mistake in releasing Hocus Pocus during the summer of 1993.


By moving Haunted Mansion to October, they could also move either Elemental or Indiana Jones 5 from June to July, giving their movies more room to breathe.

I can't help but wonder if they're anticipating a soft Box Office but hoping it hits big in streaming on Disney+. It'll likely be dropping on there just in time for Halloween.

Maybe they figure they can grab people with it after they've finished their 12th rewatch of Hocus Pocus.

Yeah, then they could have Bob Iger host the Wonderful World of Disney.

This looks really fun! I like everyone in it too.

Great trailer! I hope the movie lives up to it. We'll see.

looks interesting. a bit spookier looking than i originally thought it would be. definitely not for the younger ones. i got a kick out of some of the nods to the ride i’ve seen in this trailer. i just hope it’s a good movie.

It sure looks better than what came before it. I'm definitely interested. Looks like all the effort Disney has made perfecting their dark and dreary cinematography will pay off on this one.

 

[Ghost93]

Looks pretty good, a vast improvement over the Eddie Murphy movie. I still believe it should have been released in October, however.

1 thing i forgot to mention that gives me a laugh. my wife is always a bit freaked out over the bride during the ride. this trailer doesn’t help

Great Trailer! Definitely should be a Halloween release.

At least wait till late August.

I also don't understand why a Labor Day release wouldn't work. Shang-Chi made a lot of money — by Covid-19 standards — by releasing Labor Day weekend. Why aren't more studios taking advantage of that?

Disney World starts Halloween August 11 this year. July 28 basically is Halloween on the Mickey calendar.

They probably want people to get hyped for whatever Halloween slate of programming, parks, merch drops within a few weeks of this movie's release.

Interesting that the new trailer is not trying to sell this movie as a comedy, which I thought it mostly was?

I guess to differentiate from the 2003 movie.

Surprising that looks pretty darn good. They used lots of characters from the ride and the CG looks much better than a certain mermaid movie.

Looks too dark/scary for young ones and not funny as a comedy.

A shame. It's such great IP. (See also: Jungle Cruise)

Well it is rated PG-13

It will probably be a mix of horror and comedy.

In the first half of the Disney World/Disneyland ride, the tone is pretty dark and scary. It doesn't really get silly and funny until the second half of the ride.

They're probably angling to drop it on Disney+ in September for the Halloween season.
