This is by far the best example of how this management is destroying Disney. Yes, I know the movie is a vehicle to promote our theme park, but it still makes no sense to release it outside of the Halloween season - even if Barbie was not part of the picture. It's like they're intentionally setting up movies for failure.

Doesn't matter when they released this. It's not very good. Looks like another dud. Another Disney Fail
@wlq+1nSjKDS0 if that were true then whats the haunted mansion's excuse for being another bo-b? sounds like someone didn't do their homework...
Todays earnings cover tomorrows expenses. disney is desperate for cashflow sooner rather than later, even if it means taking a haircut.
You want a real horror movie, just wait until our earnings call next week
Haunted Mansion with Eddy Murphy was released on November 26, 2003 which is a month AFTER Halloween, so what is your point?
Horror/scary movies always clean up at the box office and on streaming. It's pretty much the only genre that guarantees profit no matter how awful they are. I don't know if you did your homework but studios release horror content all year round.
