Days After Its Failure, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Eldest Son Laments Disney’s Missed Opportunity to Release Its Horror Film on an Appropriate Occasion

Former governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger’s eldest son, Patrick, has been quite expressive of his thoughts and opinions on certain issues. He never fails to address or chime in with his perspective on matters that interest him. Similarly, a recent worldwide movie flop caught the young star’s attention, encouraging bold insights from him.

Patrick took to his Twitter handle days after Disney’s brand new fantasy-horror film, Haunted Mansion, flopped all over the world on its opening day. Although this might not come off as a surprise amid the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strikes, the actor had a suggestion to make.

Patrick Schwarzenegger speculates on a better release date

The 29-year-old stumbled upon a post by Culture Crave that teased the news of Disney’s $150 million budgeted film going flop on its first day. With a collage of intriguing scenes from the movie, the caption of the post claimed that the movie debuted with a meager $33 million collection at the worldwide box office.

Moreover, Haunted Mansion earned a rating of 41% on the popular film quality-assessing site, Rotten Tomatoes. Despite featuring some of the greatest Hollywood stars like Jared Leto, Owen Wilson, Jamie Lee Curtis, and more, in addition to the epic storytelling, the film was unable to spark interest among the audience. Thus, Patrick pondered that had the movie been released around Halloween, it could have enjoyed a better fate at the box office.

“Why didn’t they at least push this to Halloween ..?” Patrick posed a question while resharing the post on Twitter. As a matter of fact, it was a logical strategy thrown in by the Staircase actor, as the movie’s theme would have added to the Halloween vibes around that time. On a similar note, he recently acclaimed another Disney movie.
