Haunted Mansion Disappoints at Box Office with $24 Million Opening Weekend

Barbie continued to dominate the box office, earning another 93 million in its second week. The tally is a drop of 43% after opening to 162 million. If you add the foreign numbers, Barbie has earned a dreamy 774 million dollars worldwide. These are historic numbers for Warner Brothers, and the financials could only continue to grow in the coming weeks. The Greta Gerwig directed film cost 145 million to produce.

Oppenheimer also impressed in its second week, easily capturing second place at theaters. Oppenheimer amassed an additional 46 million, a drop of 44% from last weekend. This is the biggest second weekend for an R rated film since Deadpool 2. Christopher Nolan’s 3hr Oppenheimer has now exploded to 400 million worldwide.

Disney Haunted Mansion finished a distant third at the box office with 24.2 million. The live-action family pic experience one of the worst starts for a film reimagining based off a theme park ride. This was a surprise to very few as the film was tracking for 30 million heading into the weekend, but it didn’t even hit those numbers.

Haunted Mansion was troubled by mediocre reviews, but ultimately the film failed to connect with the family marketplace. Given it’s PG-13 rating many families may have hesitated, worrying the film was too intense for younger audiences.

Not all is lost for Haunted Mansion as Disney can hope for positive word of mouth going into its second weekend. The audience score on Rotten Tomatoes is holding strong at 86%, and is a silver lining for the struggling film.

Mansion will have additional competition in the family market when Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem hits theaters on August 2nd. Mansion cost an estimated 150 million before marketing, so it still has a long way to go. Disney can hold out hope that Haunted Mansion emulates the similar soft open of Pixar’s Elemental which climbed steadily after a disappointing first week in theaters.

The low-budget โ€œSound of Freedomโ€ added $13.6 million from 3,411 theaters in its fifth weekend of release. Mission Impossible added 10.7 million in its third week. Internationally, Mission Impossible has generated $309.4 million for a global total of $448 million.

Disney Cruise Line Crew Help Deliver Meals to Kids In Need

Disney Cruise Line crew members recently created magic on land for kids in need. They volunteered with The Childrenโ€™s Hunger Project to support local students throughout Brevard County โ€“ the backyard of Disney’s homeport in Port Canaveral.

The Childrenโ€™s Hunger Project provides weekend and summer meals to local children in the county to fight childhood hunger and malnutrition.

Disney Cruise Line Crew

Cheryl Cominsky, executive director of The Childrenโ€™s Hunger Project, said during the summer months, children in our community are struggling to find their next meal. โ€œFor some children in our area, their primary food source is at school. Our food packages bridge the gap for those children during the weekends and in the summer.โ€ Cominsky said support from organizations like Disney Cruise Line is critical to ensuring those children receive meals and proper nutrition.

According to The Childrenโ€™s Hunger Project, childhood hunger leads to children having a weaker immune system and difficulty in learning and paying attention in class.

Crew members packed more than 500 meals that will be delivered to children throughout the county. Meal packages included kid-favorites like breakfast bars, apple sauce, fruit cups, canned meals, crackers and juice. Disney Wish assistant cruise director, Anacia, helped put together the meal packages, and shared that she is proud to work for a company that is committed to helping the community. โ€œTo be able to spend this time with the team and to do something so important and so special, itโ€™s magical,โ€ she added.

Disney Wish Captain Marco Nogara also joined the crew. โ€œIโ€™m very proud of my crew because they work hard and are volunteering here during their time off,โ€ said Captain Marco. โ€œOur crew members truly believe in this and what we do. Itโ€™s rewarding to be here together, giving back to the community we call home.โ€

In addition to packing meals, Disney Cruise Line made a donation to The Childrenโ€™s Hunger Project that will go towards additional meal packages for students throughout the year.

Also this summer, Disney Wish crew members visited the Supply Zone for Teachers in Brevard County to help students and teachers gear up for the new school year. The team of Disney VoluntEARS helped the Supply Zone for Teachers team organize more than 75,000 items and filled hundreds of pencil cases with school supplies. Disney Cruise Line also made a donation to the Brevard Schools Foundation that will provide support for programs across the county throughout the school year.

By working with organizations like The Childrenโ€™s Hunger Project and Brevard Schools Foundation, Disney Cruise Line is making a difference supporting the most critical needs for children and families in Disney’s port communities.

On Fridays, this past month, and continuing until next Friday, Disney Springs is featuring a special Culinary Demo, and each week, after the demo we get to enjoy lunch. This week’s choice was a call back to the second Culinary Demo with the Polite Pig.

Can I just start this off by saying how much we truly love The Polite Pig, with that being said, our review is gonna be tainted by our love, but that won’t make a difference because it is just good BBQ!

We had the Fried Chicken Sandwich, Cauliflower, and Burnt Ends Chili, with the seasonal drink Saint Augustine Bourbon. First, it must be said that the chicken sandwich was massive. We did not realize how much chicken was used in each dish. it did not disappoint, as the sweet and smokey BBQ and the slaw and pickles mixed so well together. Yes, it is a messy sandwich, so just ask for some wet wipes.

The BBQ Cauliflower with Paprika Sour Cream and Candied Pepitas is a perfect combo for this dish. We have decided that the polite pig does veggies perfectly. Doesnt matter if it is the Cauliflower or the Brussel Sprouts, they are perfect!

Pig Out at Polite Pig for a Swine-tastic Disney Springs Lunch

We capped off our dish with the Polite Baked Beans with Burnt Ends, Tomato, and Sausage. I feel like we became glutinous at this point. Seriously, I did not realize the chicken sandwich was going to be so big!

Overall, Polite Pig still scores at the top of whatever ranking system you would like to impose on it. I hate ranking things, so let us just say on your next trip here to Walt Disney World, make sure to visit the Polite Pig and enjoy your time with the family over some good BBQ!

Pig Out at Polite Pig for a Swine-tastic Disney Springs Lunch

Do not forget, this Friday will be the last Disney Springs Flavors of Florida Culinary Demo at the Waterfront Stage. As always pay attention to the website for more details which can be found by clicking this link. Starts at 10:30 Am, and stop by and say Hi to us while you are there.

Disney’s Create 100 Campaign Supporting Make-A-Wish with $1 Million Donation. Some of the worldโ€™s most renowned visionaries and next-generation talent across fashion, music, art, and more have donated artworks, items, and experiences inspired by their personal connection to stories and characters across Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and 20th Century to benefit Make-A-Wishยฎ. To begin, Disney is commemorating the launch with a $1 million donation to Make-A-Wish to support the granting of life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

โ€œDisneyโ€™s timeless stories and characters have made an indelible mark on pop culture around the globe, transcending borders, industries, and generations,โ€ said Tasia Filippatos, President, of Consumer Products, Games, and Publishing. โ€œWe couldnโ€™t think of a better way to honor 100 years of Disney storytelling than by collaborating with this outstanding collective of visionaries in support of Make-A-Wish.โ€

To kick off the campaign, Disney worked with Virgil Abloh Securities to reveal a six-foot structural sculpture of Sorcererโ€™s Apprentice Mickey from Disneyโ€™sย Fantasiaย at the Royal College of Art (RCA) in London. The life-size piece titled โ€˜Structural Sorcerer โ€” a Sorcererโ€™s Apprentice Mickey Sculptureโ€™ was commissioned by Disney and designed by ALASKA ALASKA.

Disney's Create 100 Campaign Supporting Make-A-Wish with $1 Million Donation

โ€œPaying homage to the everlasting legacy of Virgil Abloh, the Sorcererโ€™s Apprentice Mickey sculpture takes inspiration from his work on the grid furniture series and the Mickey Mouse illustration he created in 2018 in celebration of Mickey Mouseโ€™s 90th birthday,โ€ said the late artistโ€™s wife, Shannon Abloh.

In line with Create 100โ€™s goal to inspire and champion next-generation talent, the โ€˜Structural Sorcerer โ€” a Sorcererโ€™s Apprentice Mickey Sculptureโ€™ will be on display at the RCA over the summer. Virgil Abloh had a close relationship with the RCA, which recently announced a scholarship in his name to support talented but financially restricted Black British students. In a continued effort to amplify the next generation of creators, Virgil Abloh Securities also enlisted multidisciplinary artist Favour Jonathan, who created a sculpture of Dr. Facilier from Disneyโ€™sย The Princess and the Frog, to be part of Create 100.

Additional incredible artworks, items, and experiences, together with the stories behind them, will be revealed over the summer, all planned to be auctioned to benefit Make-A-Wish. The Create 100 contributions feature everything from musical elements to comic books to recreations of iconic movie props and more from renowned talents such as global icon Beyoncรฉ, famed French fashion designer Christian Louboutin, Italian Global Creative Director for Swarovski Giovanna Engelbert, Chinese virtuoso pianist Lang Lang, American fashion pioneer Tommy Hilfiger, and Brazilian artist Vik Muniz. Global partners such as Adidas, Pandora, and Coach will also contribute one-of-a-kind pieces to the celebration.

โ€œMake-A-Wish was born out of the kindness and generosity of community members who saw the power that wishes have to forever change the lives of wish kids, their families, and everyone involved,โ€ said Leslie Motter, president, and CEO, Make-A-Wish America. โ€œThrough Create 100, Disney has come up with an innovative way to bring together some of the worldโ€™s most iconic creators and artists to be part of the community that makes wishes possible.โ€

For more than 40 years, Disney and Make-A-Wish have granted wishes together for more than 150,000 children with critical illnesses worldwide. The life-changing wishes include shopping sprees, studio visits, theme park and resort vacations, cruises, talent meet-and-greets, sports-themed experiences, and more. Many Disney cast members are also wish-granting volunteers, parents of wish kids, or wish alumni themselves.

Going Coastal at Coastal Eats in the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. The time of year all foodies have been waiting for is just a few weeks away. And you know what it is โ€“ theย EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival presented by CORKCICLE! This celebration kicks off on July 27 and runs through November 18, 2023, and is filled with thrilling and delicious offerings celebrating the various cultures and cuisines across the globe.ย 

Over at Coastal Eats, which is located on the outside of Creation Shop on the Test Track side, they have a great thing going at the whole food booth. We tried the Lump Crab Cake and really enjoyed it this year. The oversized lemon was confusing but, we do love some grilled lemon on our crab, so no real marks off for that.

The Cajun-spiced vinegar slaw is a nice addition to the dish. Overall this dish felt like we spent our money wisely. $7.00 for a crab cake that is decently sized is a win-win. The crab cake had a good outside crunch from being on the cooktop and the inside had a great taste and a good mouthfeel.

The only downside was no Oysters Rockafeller. They had run out earlier in the day. Who knew there would be a rush of oysters at Epcot?
