The film is based on a lesser-known novel by Agatha Christie.
The Big Picture Arguably among the unlikeliest contemporary franchises from a major studio, director Kenneth Branagh’s Hercule Poirot series of mystery movies is back this week with its third installment, A Haunting in Venice, which marks a bit of a departure from the norm, both stylistically and critically. The movie opened for previews on Thursday, grossing $1.2 million at the domestic box office. A Haunting in Venice is set to expand to over 3,500 domestic theaters today.
The series began in 2017, with the star-studded Murder on the Orient Express, which opened to $28 million but legged it to more than $100 million domestically and $350 million worldwide. Each movie in the trilogy has been directed by Branagh, who also stars as the famed Belgian detective Poirot, created by the legendary author Agatha Christie.
