A disturbing Venice It’s actually not scaring off as much enthusiasm on social media either according to RelishMix with a social media universe on Facebook, . The campaign according to RelishMix skews 25+ “coming out of the 20th Studios social network with 44.8 million fans and cross-promotion on Death on the Nile pages instead of launching exclusive official pages for the film.”
Adds RelishMix regarding the online chatter, “Social Buzz in Haunting before the opening, in this third installment it has a mixed and positive trend, turning into horror. Fans exclaim: ‘Mixing horror and the Hercule Poirot murder mystery? We’ll see.’ and I’m curious about Tina Fey’s casting, even though she’s on Hulu. Only murders in the building. Kenneth Branagh’s consistent portrayal of Poirot, along with his transition to horror directing, generates a mix of curiosity and feelings ranging from praise to skepticism. In the middle of the talk, some make reference to dark cinematography and past disappointments of Agatha Christie.” Hey hey.
