Haunted Mansion
- Thread starter DCBaker
- Start date
Release date - March 10, 2023.
"Walt Disney Pictures’ “Haunted Mansion,” is based on Disney’s classic theme parks attraction and starring a star-studded ensemble cast that includes LaKeith Stanfield “Knives Out,” Tiffany Haddish “Bad Trip,” Owen Wilson Marvel’s “Loki,” Danny DeVito “Jumanji: The Next Level,” Rosario Dawson “Zombieland: Double Tap” and Chase Dillon “The Underground Railroad.” The film was directed by Justin Simien “Bad Hair,” “Dear White People” and produced by Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich “Aladdin.” Nick Reynolds “Easter Sunday” and Tom Peitzman “The Lion King” are the executive producers.
In this mysterious adventure, a doctor (Dawson) and her 9-year-old son (Dillon), looking to start a new life, move into a strangely affordable mansion in New Orleans, only to discover that the place is much more than they bargained for. Desperate for help, they contact a priest (Wilson), who, in turn, enlists the aid of a widowed scientist-turned failed-paranormal expert (Stanfield), a French Quarter psychic (Haddish) and a crotchety historian (DeVito)."

Okay, I will say that having Danny DeVito in a Haunted Mansion movie is a great idea.
Aside from that? Meh.

Now that's the kind of casting I can get behind! Excellent choice.
"Director Justin Simien and Scream Queen Jamie Lee Curtis stopped by D23 today to tease their upcoming live-action Haunted Mansion film, sharing that it will feature cameos from Winona Ryder, Dan Levy, Hasan Minhaj and more.
Simien also debuted a new for-the-room-only trailer which watches as a car pulls up to a mansion in the depths of night. The mansion, our narrator says, was discovered fully built after a fire in 1788. “That’s when things started to get weird,” he continues, “[with] a string of dramatic events, paranormal attacks, yellow fever, explosions. There’s no records, only stories.”
We then follow a character played by Tiffany Haddish and a priest portrayed by Owen Wilson as they explore hidden areas of the darkly historic house with a group of kids, finding, behind a painting, a room that had “not been touched in centuries.”
The trailer also introduces us to a tour guide played by Lakeith Stanfield, with further flashes to characters played by Rosario Dawson, Danny DeVito and more."

I think this new movie has the strong potential to make the one he starred in look like Citizen Kane. He would be wise to stay away and they can't afford him with the already overinflated celebrity budget this thing has.

Thats why I said cameo, he doesnt need to be in it for longer than 10 minutes.

I wonder how the Tiffany Haddish scandals are affecting the final cut of the film or if they pushed the date back to give her time to settle the current case?

This will be out of theaters by the time Halloween season starts. A late September date would be ideal if you were going to try to capitalize on Halloween from a theatrical standpoint. Now maybe that's their play. Theater releases only seem to last a month or so, obviously that could be different by next year. So get it in theaters in August so you can push it for D+ and party season at the parks for Halloween.

Will it? I mean Disney could keep it in theaters an extra couple weeks to make it to mid-October.

That's why I said it could change. We don't know if the theater environment will go back to normal since it will be a year later. I think they are expecting it to be a D+ push but if it does warrant keeping in theaters longer, bonus.
45 days in a theater is the new normal for 'big' pictures (not small indie films).
Aug 11 + 45 days = Sep 25.
They *could* keep it in theaters longer... if it's making money. If it's depleted it's BO power, it'll be pulled.
Besides, it's not a 'horror film' that's more typical for Halloween time in theaters. I'm sure Disney would want it on D+ in time for family-friendly spooky Halloween programming blocks.
