Anticipation continues to build for Disney’s new Haunted Mansion (2023) film. Part of the excitement comes as a result of the mixed response and underwhelming box office performance of the 2003 adaptation starring Eddie Murphy, which also drew inspiration from the iconic Disneyland (and Magic Kingdom) ride.

Movies Based on Attractions

Disney, however, is no stranger to creating cinematic experiences based on their popular theme park attractions, and some have achieved tremendous success, such as Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003), which not only captivated audiences but also spawned a multitude of sequels. However, other films such as The Country Bears (2002) starring the voice talents of Christopher Walken and Haley Joel Osment were not well received.

The new movie is scheduled to hit theaters this summer on July 28.

About Steven Wilk

Steven has a complicated relationship with Disney. As a child, he visited Walt Disney World every few years with his family. But he never understood why kids his age (and older) were so scared of Snow White or Alien Encounter. He is a former participant of the Disney College Program (left early…long story), and he also previously worked in Children’s publishing, where he adapted multiple Disney movies and TV shows. He has many controversial opinions about Disney…like having a positive view of Michael Eisner, believing Return of the Jedi is superior to The Empire Strikes Back, and that Toy Story Land and Galaxy’s Edge should have never been built (at least not at Hollywood Studios). Every year for the past two decades, Steven has visited either Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Aulani or went on a Disney Cruise. He’s happy to share any and all knowledge of the Disney destinations (and he likes using parenthesis a lot…as well as ellipses…)
