Kenneth Branagh as Hercule Poirot in A Haunting in Venice
Fans of Agatha Christie are one of the best-served bunch in the world. Not only because the celebrated author wrote over 60 novels, but also because they are an endless source of TV and film adaptations. Christie's most popular stories have been adapted several times, and the most recent adaptation is a trilogy that made waves at movie theaters when it started rolling out in 2017.
Then, it was time for another hugely popular Hercule Poirot story: Death on the Nile. In it, Poirot investigates a murder that takes place inside a ship in the middle of the Nile River. Unfortunately for fans, the movie had its release delayed several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and it ended up earning significantly less than its predecessor at the box office: a little over $130 million, which is a solid number for the context of its release.
So far, the new Agatha Christie adaptations have raked in over $600 million worldwide, which is why 20th Century Studios is showing no signs of stopping. During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, studio exec Steve Asbell confirmed that And Then There Were None and Witness for the Prosecution are already in development, and the studio is also working on Miss Marple stories — the other detective that became famous through Agatha Christie novels.
