twentieth Century Studios’ Kenneth Branagh starring and directed, A Haunting in Venice, has scared up $1.2M in previews. The weekend outlook for the characteristic take of the Agatha Christie novel Hallowe’en is $12M+, just like what Branagh’s characteristic tackle the writer’s Demise on the Nile did again in 2022 in its first weekend, $12.8M.
Comps for the anticipated older feminine skewing, A Haunting in Venice consists of, 2019’s Physician Sleep which did $1.4M on its Thursday earlier than a $14M opening weekend, the Jennifer Lawrence Russian spy flick Crimson Sparrow ($1.2M Thursday previews and $17M opening), Ticket to Paradise ($1.1M previews, $16.5M opening) and Demise on the Nile ($1.1M previews).
As we talked about, working in A Haunting in Venice‘s favor is that it’s one of the best reviewed of Branagh’s Hercule Poirot films at 77% licensed contemporary to Homicide on the Orient Categorical and Demise on the Nile’s 61% on Rotten Tomatoes. The draw back is that Venice isn’t tricked up with stars like Homicide was; the one huge names right here outdoors Branagh being Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh and 30 Rock‘s Tina Fey.
A Haunting in Venice might win the weekend if New Line’s Nun 2 takes an unlimited tumble deeper than -60%.
