Halloween Makes $31,000,000 Over Labor Day Weekend

[🪦 JOEY ●]

"Halloween was celebrated over the four-day Labor Day weekend to the tune of an estimated $31 million on approximately 4,100 screens at 3,472 theaters. MGM and The Weinstein Company's remake of the seminal 1978 slasher claimed the highest-grossing Labor Day weekend opening ever""Among the recent spate of remakes of famous horror movies, Halloween's $26.5 million three-day start rates slightly higher than The Amityville Horror but lower than The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Dawn of the Dead. The original Halloween grossed the equivalent of nearly $140 million adjusted for ticket price inflation and, while that success has never been recreated, the franchise has endured for nearly three decades. The Weinsteins previously revived killer Michael Myers in August 1998 with Halloween: H20, which sold around as many tickets out of the gate as the 2007 incarnation and its $55 million final gross would equal about $80 million today, a tally that the new movie won't likely reach.

Very nice! Glad to see some folks still have good taste in film.

I'm glad it was able to pull some cash in like that. I was just thinking about that earlier because I read an article on Crave saying that it had only brought in 10 mil. on it's opening day which kind of worried me because almost everything pulls in more than that. -Joseph

It's really sad that most of the multiplexes in my area only have it in one theater. I've tried to go 3 times this weekend and its been sold out. If only these cinemas would show it on 2 or 3 screens, it'd make a lot more money.
