A Haunting in Venice which stars, Kenneth Branagh and Michelle Yeoh, is set to end its global box office run as the lowest-grossing in trilogy.
The Big Picture While domestic audiences have been largely unenthusiastic about A Haunting in Venice — the third installment in director-star Kenneth Branagh’s series of murder mystery movies based on the novels of Agatha Christie, the film is staying afloat thanks to a respectable turnout in international markets.
In its fifth weekend of release, A Haunting in Venice grossed $2 million domestically, remaining outside the top five for the third weekend in a row. Its running domestic total now stands at $38 million, which means that the film still has an outside chance of overtaking its direct predecessor, Death on the Nile, which ended its domestic run with $45 million last year.
By comparison, Death on the Nile ended its global run with $137 million, which was less than half of the $350 million that Murder on the Orient Express grossed in 2017. Each of the three films has been directed by Branagh, who also stars in the lead role as the famed fictional Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. But what we have here is a clear case of diminishing returns, especially at the domestic box office.
Those Who Watched the Film Seemed to Enjoy It Despite 20th Century Studios’ efforts to restrict the film's budget to a reported $60 million this time around — Death on the Nile cost a bloated $90 million-plus — the fortunes don't seem to have turned in the franchise’s favor, putting its future in doubt.
The movie marked a stylistic and tonal departure from both Death on the Nile and Murder on the Orient Express, which were lavishly mounted, star-driven, old-fashioned mysteries. A Haunting in Venice, on the other hand, is a more restrained affair that leans heavily on horror tropes. Based on a relatively low-key source novel, the movie also features Kyle Allen, Camille Cottin, Jamie Dornan, Tina Fey, Jude Hill, Ali Khan, Emma Laird, Kelly Reilly, Riccardo Scamarcio, and Michelle Yeoh.
