Disney's new live-action adaptation of "Haunted Mansion" debuted with a disappointing $33.3 million worldwide opening weekend, falling short of expectations given its reported $150 million production budget. The film, positioned as a summer blockbuster, earned $24.2 million in the United States, landing in the #3 spot at the box office. With the general rule of thumb being that movies need to earn 2.5 to 3 times their production budget to turn a profit, it is unlikely that "Haunted Mansion" will achieve this. Disney may opt to release the film on Disney+ for Halloween instead. This is Disney's second attempt at adapting the popular theme park attraction, with the previous 2003 version starring Eddie Murphy also struggling to turn a profit.

Director Justin Simien explains why he expanded the backstories of William Gracey and Jared Leto's Hatbox Ghost in Disney's new Haunted Mansion movie. The film provides a fleshed-out backstory for these fan-favorite characters, exploring their personal lore beyond what is seen in the ride. The plot follows a widower and paranormal tour guide who teams up with a group of supernatural sleuths to banish ghosts from a Louisiana estate. The movie reveals that Gracey, the prior owner of the mansion, was deceived by a dark spirit and committed suicide, while Hatbox Ghost is the spirit of a man seeking to collect 1,000 souls for his freedom.
