Haunted Mansion is a 2023 American supernatural horror comedy film directed by Justin Simien from a screenplay by Katie Dippold. It stars LaKeith Stanfield, Tiffany Haddish, Owen Wilson, Danny DeVito, Rosario Dawson, Dan Levy, Jamie Lee Curtis and Jared Leto. Produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Rideback, it is the second film adaptation of Walt Disney's eponymous theme park attraction, following the 2003 version. In the film, a single mother and her son (Dawson and Chase W. Dillon, respectively) enlist the aid of an astrophysicist turned tour guide (Stanfield), a struggling psychic (Haddish), a conman posing as a priest (Wilson) and a college historian (DeVito) to help exorcise the ghostly inhabitants of the titular building that they have recently moved into.

Plans for the reboot adaptation based on the Haunted Mansion began in July 2010, when Guillermo del Toro, who intended to write and produce, stated the project would take place in a heightened reality rather than in a real-world setting. Del Toro was no longer attached as the project's director in July 2013. After years in development hell, Disney officially announced Haunted Mansion in August 2020, with Dippold signed on to write a new screenplay. Simien negotiated to direct the film by April 2021, and was officially confirmed three months later. The primary cast was confirmed from July to October, and additional cast was announced the following year. Principal photography took place from mid-October 2021 to late-February 2022 on a $150 million budget.

Haunted Mansion premiered at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, on July 15, 2023, and was released in the United States on July 28 by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. The film received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $118 million worldwide, becoming a box-office bomb and losing Disney an estimated $117 million. Journalists criticized the film for its repeated use of product placement.

Plot

In New Orleans, Ben Matthias, an astrophysicist developing a camera to detect dark matter, marries Alyssa, a tour guide for the city's famously haunted places. Following Alyssa's death in a car crash, a despondent Ben gives up his career and continues to run her tour, despite his disbelief in the supernatural. Widowed doctor Gabbie and her son Travis move into the abandoned Gracey Manor, planning to turn the mansion into a bed and breakfast, only to discover that it is infested with ghosts.

Father Kent, an exorcist helping Gabbie, hires Ben to photograph Gracey Manor's ghosts. Unable to find any evidence of ghosts, Ben returns home and is haunted by a ghost of a mariner, forcing him to return to the mansion as he learns that Gabbie, Travis and Kent have also fallen victim to hauntings as well. They recruit Harriet, a psychic, and steal the mansion's blueprints from historian Professor Bruce Davis. The group finds a hidden séance room where Harriet contacts the spirit of William Gracey, who writes a message instructing them to talk to legendary medium Madame Leota. A malevolent entity forces Harriet out of the house, while Bruce arrives and is forced out as well.

The group stays at the mansion, searching for Leota. In the attic, Ben runs afoul of ghostly bride Constance Hatchaway and finds a locked trunk containing a crystal ball holding Leota herself. Leota reveals that Gracey recruited her to contact the spirit of his late wife every night for an entire year, resulting in hundreds of the mansion's ghosts taking up residence. A malevolent spirit tricked Gracey into committing suicide and trapped Leota inside her crystal ball; having acquired 999 souls throughout the years, the spirit needs one more in order to escape from the mansion. When Harriet performs an astral projection, Ben is sent out of his body instead and encounters Gracey's ghost and the malevolent spirit, whose head disappears and reappears within a hatbox it carries.

A police sketch artist draws the ghost, allowing the group to identify him as Alistair Crump, a wealthy heir who was shunned by his father and high society; after his father's mysterious death, a vengeful Crump used lavish parties to lure his fellow socialites to their deaths while developing an obsession with the occult, until he was assassinated by his much-abused staff. Crump seals the mansion but Ben, Kent and Travis escape to Crump Manor, where the Mariner leads them to Crump's hat to use in a banishment ritual.

Returning to Gracey Manor, Kent confesses that he is actually a con artist, but he and Ben soon rescue their friends. Crump incinerates his hat and, having been impersonating Travis' late father, plots to make Travis his final soul. Ben convinces Travis not to give in to his grief and they and Gabbie confront Crump in the mansion's graveyard. Kent rallies the ghosts to rebel against Crump, while Harriet frees Leota and Bruce recovers the remnants of the hat to carry out the banishment ritual. Crump tempts Ben to become his final soul and be reunited with Alyssa, but Ben makes his peace with losing her as Crump is sent back to the netherworld upon the ritual's completion.

Ben continues to move on with his life and discovers the cat staying by his door is named Tater Tot, a nod to his wife's love for the food. The group reunites at the mansion for a Halloween party; Ben has returned to teaching, Harriet has regained confidence in her psychic abilities, Kent has been ordained, Travis is elected class vice president, Gabbie has been hired at the local hospital, Bruce maintains his newfound friendships and many of the ghosts have chosen to stay at the mansion, now in harmony with the living.

Production

= Development =

In July 2010, it was announced that a reboot adaptation based on The Haunted Mansion was in development for Walt Disney Pictures, with Guillermo del Toro as writer and producer. Del Toro stated the project would not take place in a real-world setting, but in a heightened reality. He revealed that the Hatbox Ghost would be one of the main characters and said the film would be "scary and fun at the same time, but the scary will be scary". In June 2011, Walt Disney World Imagineer Jason Surrell was brought onto the project as a creative consultant. In August 2012, Del Toro submitted the final draft of his script to Walt Disney Studios, intended for a PG-13 rating. By July 2013, Del Toro announced he was no longer the project's director, but remained as co-writer and executive producer. In April 2015, Ryan Gosling was in early negotiations to star, while D.V. DeVincentis was hired to rewrite the script.{{cite web |author=McNary, Dave |date=April 9, 2015 |title=Ryan Gosling to Star in Guillermo del Toro's Haunted Mansion |url=https://variety.com/2015/film/news/ryan-gosling-to-star-in-guillermo-del-toros-haunted-mansion-1201469772/ |access-date=April 22, 2021 |work=Variety |archive-date=March 21, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230321150808/https://variety.com/2015/film/news/ryan-gosling-to-star-in-guillermo-del-toros-haunted-mansion-1201469772/ |url-status=live}}{{cite web |last=Sneider |first=Jeff |date=April 9, 2015 |title=Ryan Gosling Teaming With Guillermo del Toro for Disney's Haunted Mansion (Exclusive) |url=https://www.thewrap.com/ryan-gosling-teaming-with-guillermo-del-toro-for-disneys-haunted-mansion-exclusive/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201108165634/https://www.thewrap.com/ryan-gosling-teaming-with-guillermo-del-toro-for-disneys-haunted-mansion-exclusive/ |archive-date=November 8, 2020 |access-date=April 22, 2021 |work=TheWrap}} In September 2016, Brigham Taylor was hired as producer.{{cite web |last=Marshall |first=Rick |date=September 4, 2016 |title=The Jungle Book producer on talking animals, The Rocketeer sequel, and Del Toro's Haunted Mansion |url=https://www.digitaltrends.com/movies/disney-producer-talks-jungle-book-2-the-rocketeers-and-del-toros-haunted-mansion/ |website=Digital Trends |access-date=April 28, 2022 |archive-date=March 8, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230308045956/https://www.digitaltrends.com/movies/disney-producer-talks-jungle-book-2-the-rocketeers-and-del-toros-haunted-mansion/ |url-status=live}}

Due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike occurring a few days prior, the film's cast members could not attend the premiere, with the park's Disney characters including Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Disney villains such as Maleficent, Cruella de Vil, and the Evil Queen walking the red carpet instead.{{Cite web |last=Malkin |first=Marc |date=2023-07-15 |title=Inside Disney's 'Haunted Mansion' Red Carpet Premiere During SAG-AFTRA Strike, Director Justin Simien Wants to Talk to Bob Iger |url=https://variety.com/2023/scene/events/haunted-mansion-disney-premiere-sag-actors-strike-1235671006/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230716073831/https://variety.com/2023/scene/events/haunted-mansion-disney-premiere-sag-actors-strike-1235671006/ |archive-date=2023-07-16 |access-date=2023-07-16 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}{{Cite magazine |last=Legaspi |first=Althea |date=2023-07-15 |title=SAG-AFTRA Strike: Disney Characters Walk Carpet Instead of Stars at 'Haunted Mansion' Premiere |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-news/haunted-mansion-premiere-sag-aftra-strike-disney-characters-no-stars-1234789275/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230716074020/https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-news/haunted-mansion-premiere-sag-aftra-strike-disney-characters-no-stars-1234789275/ |archive-date=2023-07-16 |access-date=2023-07-16 |magazine=Rolling Stone |language=en-US}} It was released theatrically in the United States on July 28{{cite web |last=D'Alessandro |first=Anthony |date=February 17, 2023 |title=The Marvels Zooms To November, Haunted Mansion Going In Late July – Release Dates |url=https://deadline.com/2023/02/the-marvels-haunted-mansion-release-dates-1235263320/ |access-date=February 17, 2023 |website=Deadline Hollywood |archive-date=February 17, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230217232617/https://deadline.com/2023/02/the-marvels-haunted-mansion-release-dates-1235263320/ |url-status=live}} in 4DX{{cite web |last=Drum |first=Nicole |date=2023-06-28 |title=New Disney's Haunted Mansion 4DX Poster Released (Exclusive) |url=https://comicbook.com/movies/news/new-disneys-haunted-mansion-4dx-poster-released-exclusive/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230629022413/https://comicbook.com/movies/news/new-disneys-haunted-mansion-4dx-poster-released-exclusive/ |archive-date=2023-06-29 |access-date=2023-07-16 |website=ComicBook.com |language=en}} and Dolby Cinema formats.{{cite web |last=Squires |first=John |date=2023-06-28 |title=Dolby Poster for Disney's 'Haunted Mansion' Movie Unleashes the Iconic Hatbox Ghost |url=https://bloody-disgusting.com/movie/3767419/dolby-poster-for-disneys-haunted-mansion-movie-unleashes-the-iconic-hatbox-ghost/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230629093706/https://bloody-disgusting.com/movie/3767419/dolby-poster-for-disneys-haunted-mansion-movie-unleashes-the-iconic-hatbox-ghost/ |archive-date=2023-06-29 |access-date=2023-07-16 |website=Bloody Disgusting |language=en-US}} It was previously scheduled for March 10, 2023,{{cite web |last=Couch |first=Aaron |date=February 25, 2022 |title=Disney Sets Haunted Mansion Release Date for 2023 |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/haunted-mansion-release-date-disney-2023-1235099720/ |access-date=February 25, 2022 |website=The Hollywood Reporter |archive-date=February 25, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220225185809/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/haunted-mansion-release-date-disney-2023-1235099720/ |url-status=live}} and then August 11, 2023.{{cite web |last=Rubin |first=Rebecca |date=September 15, 2022 |title=Disney Removes Star Wars Spinoff Rogue Squadron From Release Calendar, Sets Dates for Snow White, Inside Out 2 and Lion King Sequel |url=https://variety.com/2022/film/news/disney-star-wars-spinoff-rogue-squadron-release-snow-white-inside-out-2-lion-king-sequel-1235373972/ |access-date=September 15, 2022 |website=Variety |archive-date=September 15, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220915182131/https://variety.com/2022/film/news/disney-star-wars-spinoff-rogue-squadron-release-snow-white-inside-out-2-lion-king-sequel-1235373972/ |url-status=live}}

In the United States and Canada, the film was released alongside Talk to Me, and was projected to gross $25–30 million from 3,740 theaters in its opening weekend, though a debut of $20–25 million had also been considered possible.{{cite web |last=D'Alessandro |first=Anthony |date=July 25, 2023 |title='Barbie' & 'Oppenheimer' Combined Second Weekend Of $107M+ Could Lock Out Disney's 'Haunted Mansion' – Box Office Preview |url=https://deadline.com/2023/07/box-office-barbie-oppenheimer-haunted-mansion-1235448163/ |access-date=July 26, 2023 |website=Deadline Hollywood |archive-date=July 26, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230726013349/https://deadline.com/2023/07/box-office-barbie-oppenheimer-haunted-mansion-1235448163/ |url-status=live }}{{cite web |last=Rubin |first=Rebecca |date=July 26, 2023 |title=Box Office: Disney's 'Haunted Mansion' Eyes $30 Million Debut, 'Barbenheimer' to Remain on Top |url=https://variety.com/2023/film/box-office/box-office-haunted-mansion-barbenheimer-1235679922/ |access-date=July 26, 2023 |website=Variety |archive-date=July 28, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230728195119/https://variety.com/2023/film/box-office/box-office-haunted-mansion-barbenheimer-1235679922/amp/ |url-status=live }} It made $10 million on its first day, including $3.1 million from Thursday night previews.{{cite web |last=D'Alessandro |first=Anthony |date=July 28, 2023 |title='Barbie' Ends First Week With $258M+, 'Oppenheimer' $127M+; 'Haunted Mansion' Scares Up $3M+ – Friday AM Box Office |url=https://deadline.com/2023/07/barbie-oppenheimer-second-weekend-box-office-haunted-mansion-1235450156/ |access-date=July 28, 2023 |website=Deadline Hollywood |archive-date=July 29, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230729155341/https://deadline.com/2023/07/barbie-oppenheimer-second-weekend-box-office-haunted-mansion-1235450156/ |url-status=live }}{{cite web |url=https://collider.com/barbie-domestic-box-office-287-million/ |title='Barbie' and 'Oppenheimer' Break Records at Domestic Box Office in Second Weekend |website=Collider |date=July 29, 2023 |access-date=July 29, 2023 |archive-date=July 29, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230729182645/https://collider.com/barbie-domestic-box-office-287-million/ |url-status=live }} It went on to debut to $24.1 million, finishing in third below Barbie and Oppenheimer, and failing to top the opening weekend of the 2003 film ($24.3 million, unadjusted for inflation). Reasons for the low opening have been cited for competition from Barbie and Oppenheimer, lack of marketing, divided word of mouth, and its Halloween-esque tone.

==Criticism of product placement==

The extensive use of product placement in the film generated online controversy. Aleena Malik wrote for Screen Rant that "movies tend to find organic ways to integrate product placement into the story and limit how many they include, but Haunted Mansion did the opposite. The call-outs to different products and brands felt excessive and completely out of place."{{cite news |last1=Malik |first1=Aleena |title=The Product Placement In Disney’s Haunted Mansion Went Way Too Far |url=https://screenrant.com/disney-haunted-mansion-product-placement-bad/ |access-date=February 25, 2025 |work=Screen Rant |publisher=Valnet Inc. |date=October 10, 2023}} In his negative review of the film for Rolling Stone, David Fear cited "the blatant product placement for Burger King jalapeño poppers" as one of its chief flaws.{{cite news |last1=Fear |first1=David |title='Haunted Mansion' is Disney Taking You for a Ride |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-reviews/haunted-mansion-review-disney-owen-wilson-lakeith-stanfield-danny-devito-1234793243/ |access-date=February 25, 2025 |work=Rolling Stone |publisher=Penske Media Corporation |date=July 26, 2023}} Users on Letterboxd and Twitter were critical of the placements.{{cite news |last1=Harrington |first1=Kayla |title=Haunted Mansion viewers shocked by “insane” product placement |url=https://www.dexerto.com/tv-movies/haunted-mansion-viewers-shocked-by-insane-product-placement-2232877/ |access-date=February 25, 2025 |work=Dexerto |date=August 1, 2023}}{{cite news |last1=Kelly |first1=Keegan |title=The New ‘Haunted Mansion’ Movie Plugs CVS at a Séance, Along With a Dozen Other Insane Product Placements |url=https://www.cracked.com/article_38894_the-new-haunted-mansion-movie-plugs-cvs-at-a-seance-along-with-a-dozen-other-insane-product-placements.html |access-date=February 25, 2025 |work=Collider |publisher=Valnet Inc. |date=August 1, 2023}}
