The latest Branagh adaption of an Agatha Christie tome, A Haunting in Venice, looks to make around $12 million this weekend and could possibly push Nun 2 out of No. 1 in its second weekend, that is if the Conjuring spinoff sequel falls worse than 60%. But that $12M is still far from the surprising $28.6M opening weekend from Orient Express , which wound up being an adult holiday sleeper with $102.8M.

A Haunting in Venice‘s start isn’t expected to be far from its previous chapter, Death on the Nile, 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, based on the 1969 Christie novel Hallowe’en Party, still looks to attract that same 45-plus demo, largely women.

There’s a special Imax and PLF presentation of A Haunting in Venice 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.

These movies are utter crap.

Rowing To $14M Opening – https://deadline.com/2023/09/box-office-a-haunting-in-venice-1235547819/

FRIDAY AFTERNOON: 20th Century Studios/Disney’s A Haunting in Venice is looking to perform slighty better than expected with a $5.3M Friday, inclusive of previews, and a 3-day of $14M.

I'm leaving the theater now. It's my least favorite of the three films so far--really, I only think that MOTOE was a success--but the theater was fairly crowded so maybe the film will end up doing well financially.
