This is shaping up to be the second-lowest weekend of the year.
The Big Picture The third installment in director-star Kenneth Branagh’s unlikely series of murder mystery movies, A Haunting in Venice is delivering lukewarm results in its opening weekend at the domestic box office. The film made $5.5 million on Friday, which includes the $1.2 million that it made in Thursday previews. This puts it on track to open with around $14 million in its first weekend, which typically isn't a good enough number to guarantee it a top-place finish.
Based on the novels by Agatha Christie, each of these movies is directed by Branagh, who also stars as the famed Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. Reviews for the first two films were similarly mixed, but A Haunting in Venice appears to have been received slightly better; it currently sits at a “fresh” 78% score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, but earned only a B CinemaScore from opening day audiences.
