Haunted Mansion: New TV Spot Welcomes You Foolish Mortals
We have a new TV spot for Haunted Mansion that leans into the infamous "welcome foolish mortals" line from the ride. It will be released on July 28th.
If there is a blockbuster wildcard for the month of July, it's probably Haunted Mansion. There are a lot of big movies coming out this month, and it's really going to have to fight for a place at the box office. As we have seen time and time again this summer, there is no room to be mediocre when there are so many other options for audience members to choose from. Now that we're in the final weeks before the release of Haunted Mansion, Disney is starting to kick up the marketing. We got a new TV spot that leans into the "welcome foolish mortals" from the ride that fans love oh so much.
This looks cute and any other summer, Haunted Mansion probably would kill it, but it's going to be an uphill battle. We'd say that the budget seems to be the only thing that could say this, but the budget is looking to be around $150 million before marketing so that's a pretty big number to clear. These massive budgets and being mediocre to pretty good are really the two things that are kneecapping so many movies this summer. We'll have to see if this one manages to break the cycle.
