Disney has kept Kenneth Branagh’s 20th Century Studios Hercule Poirot franchise going following its inception at Fox with 2017’s Murder on the Orient Express, <\/em>but recent installments have yet to reach that first pic’s box office heights. <\/p>\n The latest Branagh adaption of an Agatha Christie tome, A Haunting in Venice, <\/em>looks to make around $12 million this weekend and could possibly push Nun 2 <\/em>out of No. 1 in its second weekend, that is if the Conjuring <\/em>spinoff sequel falls worse than 60%. But that $12M is still far from the surprising $28.6M opening weekend from Orient Express <\/em>, which wound up being an adult holiday sleeper with $102.8M. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A Haunting in Venice<\/em>‘s start isn’t expected to be far from its previous chapter, Death on the Nile, <\/em>which opened in early February 2022 to $12.8M at a time when its older core demo was still concerned about Covid. A Haunting in Venice, <\/em>based on the 1969 Christie novel Hallowe’en Party<\/em>, still looks to attract that same 45-plus demo, largely women. <\/p>\n Upside for A Haunting in Venice<\/em>: It’s the best reviewed of Branagh’s feature adaptations of Christie at 80% certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. That provides hope in convincing its adult moviegoers who read reviews to go. Both Murder on the Orient Express <\/em>and Death on the Nile <\/em>were 61% with critics. <\/p>\n Also, A Haunting in Venice <\/em>cost a reported $60M versus Death on the Nile<\/em>‘s $100M before P&A; that pic faltered with a domestic take of $45.6M and global of $137.3M.<\/p>\n Downside: A Haunting in Venice <\/em>doesn’t really have a shiny cast like its predecessors: Murder <\/em>featured a murderers’ row that included Johnny Depp, Daisy Ridley, Judi Dench, Penélope Cruz, Michelle Pfeiffer and Willem Dafoe. Death on the Nile <\/em>had Gal Gadot, Annette Bening and a post-scandal Armie Hammer. However, outside Branagh, Haunting <\/em>only boasts Tina Fey and Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh. <\/p>\n There’s a special Imax and PLF presentation of A Haunting in Venice <\/em>tonight before previews Thursday which start at 6 p.m.. The pic is booked in 3,200 theaters and of course will keep those Imax and PLFs through the weekend. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nRelated Stories<\/h3>\n
