Kenneth Branagh is back as Hercule Poirot in the murder mystery sequel.
The Big Picture A Haunting in Venice marks Kenneth Branagh's third outing as Hercule Poirot, the famed European detective created by the author Agatha Christie. In the latest addition to the franchise, he attempts to enjoy a tranquil retirement in the Italian city of canals.
The film grossed $14.5 million domestically, and collected another $22.7 million at the international box office, bringing its global tally to $37.2 million. In North America, tickets sales were slightly better than its predecessor, 2022’s Death on the Nile , but down considerably from the first in series, 2017’s Murder on the Orient Express . The film stars Branagh, Fey, Michelle Yeoh, Kelly Reilly, Jamie Dornan and more.
Word of mouth and critical reception of the film was vastly improved from Branagh's previous Poirot films, with its 79% Rotten Tomatoes score from Death on the Nile's 61% and Murder on the Orient Express's 60%. The film is also expected to perform more consistently overseas due to the demographics the film is aimed at perhaps not rushing to theaters on opening weekends. The movie was budgeted at a moderate $60 million, which should ensure a decent enough return is made.
What's 'A Haunting in Venice' Based On? A Haunting in Venice is loosely adapted from one of Christie's lesser known novels, Halloween Party. The novel was first published in 1969. In the story, Poirot is called upon to investigate a murder that occurs during a Halloween party in the fictional English village of Woodleigh Common.
A Haunting in Venice borrows many themes from the story, including the names of characters—Joyce Reynolds is the medium in Branagh's film—and the bobbing for apples scene is played out slightly differently, but notably within the film.
