The positives for “A Haunting in Venice” are primarily in the critical realm, where it’s received the highest reviews for a Branagh Christie adaptation. It earned an impressive 80% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, whereas both “Orient Express” and “Death on the Nile” only hammered in 61% with critics.Additionally, “A Haunting in Venice” was produced at a lower cost, reportedly $60 million, compared to the $100 million budget of “Death on the Nile”.
However, “A Haunting in Venice” relies on the star power of Tina Fey and Oscar-winner Michelle Yeoh, whereas “Murder” fronted a boatload of megastars, like Johnny Depp, Daisy Ridley, Judi Dench, Penélope Cruz, Michelle Pfeiffer and Willem Dafoe. Despite the challenges, “A Haunting in Venice” is gearing up for an Imax and PLF presentation before its previews on Thursday, Sept. 14.
