Disney has another box office bomb thanks to Haunted Mansion's $150 million budget, and it proves how badly they need Pirates of the Caribbean 6.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Haunted Mansion's box office did not meet Disney's expectations, and it proves how badly the studio needs Pirates of the Caribbean 6. Disney's strategy to make movies based on Disneyland rides has brought mixed results over the last few decades at the box office, but that has not stopped them from developing another installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
Haunted Mansion Is Disney's Latest Movie Based On A Ride To Flop Disney is certainly not happy with Haunted Mansion's box office performance. The movie opened below projections domestically to a low $24M opening weekend, which is the lowest for a Disney movie based on a ride since the original 2003 The Haunted Mansion starring Eddie Murphy. While the previous movie managed to make $75M domestically and $182M worldwide, the 2023 reboot will not come close to these figures.
Pirates of the Caribbean Is Disney's Only Truly Successful Ride Franchise The various financial struggles Disney has had with movies based on rides is something the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has been immune to so far. When the franchise started in 2003 with Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, the movie became a huge hit with critics and audiences alike, propelling it to awards nominations and more than $650M at the worldwide box office.
