In the early stages of the writers and actors’ strike, Disney has emerged as the studio handling the situation the worst. CEO Bob Iger has infuriated everyone from the stars of canceled Marvel shows to former on-camera talents. He blames the cinematic universe’s expansion for its decline in quality and dismisses the demands made on the picket lines as unrealistic. Despite making tens of millions of dollars annually, he even refused to cancel the premiere of Haunted Mansion.
The reboot of Haunted Mansion, estimated to cost $157 million, is already at risk of becoming Disney’s latest box office disaster. Projections suggest it will barely surpass its Eddie Murphy-led predecessor released two decades ago. Additionally, the company’s decision to have theme park actors in costume populate the red carpet instead of the striking stars has drawn negative attention.
The ensemble cast of Haunted Mansion includes Academy Award winners Jamie Lee Curtis and LaKeith Stanfield, along with legendary actors Danny DeVito and Rosario Dawson, fan favorite from Star Wars and talented actresses Tiffany Haddish and Winona Ryder, among others. However, instead of these stars, individuals dressed as Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Snow White, and Maleficent attended the event.
Director Justin Simien was present, but it would have been wiser to cancel the event entirely.
