Haunted Mansion gets its digital and Blu-ray release just in time for Halloween

Haunted Mansion didn’t have the strongest of showings this summer. Part of it is attributed to the scheduled release date. It was screened in theaters in the direct wake of the Barbenheimer phenomenon. This, unfortunately, made the Disney comedy a victim of the Barbie and Oppenheimer dual release that dominated the summer box office. Another element that some may draw from is the fact that it is a horror-themed film (albeit family-friendly) that is released in the summertime when people are less likely to gravitate towards the macabre.

However, there is a fail-safe for the underperformed film to find a new audience as the fall movie season starts, and Disney has just announced the premiere date for the home video release of Haunted Mansion, which makes it available for consumers in time for Halloween. The Justin Simien film will be available for home viewing on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, Digital and DVD this October. The movie will be on Digital on October 4. Then, you can buy it as physical media on October 17.
