Monday Morning Box Office Report: Halloween Holds Up, Hunter Killer Gets Torpedoed

boxofficehalloween2

It was another strong showing for David Gordon Green and Danny McBride’s Halloween at the box office, dropping 58% in its second weekend to bring home another $32 million. The movie has now earned $172 million worldwide on a $10 million budget. That already puts it up there as one of the highest grossing Blumhouse movies although it might still be a few weeks before it catches Get Out or Split. A Star Is Born also remained in second place, followed by Venom and Goosebumps 2. Rounding out the top 5 we had Hunter Killer starring Gerard Butler, which was an unfortunate (although not entirely unexpected) disappointment with a lacklustre $6.7 million debut. (Clearly it was no Geostorm.) Elsewhere, Jonah Hill’s Mid90s jumped into the top 10 while the other new releases Johnny English Strikes Again and Indivisible opened way down in 12th and 13th place respectively.

1. Halloween — $32M
2. A Star Is Born — $14.1M
3. Venom — $10.8M
4. Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween — $7.5M
5. Hunter Killer — $6.7M
6. The Hate U Give — $5.1M
7. First Man — $4.9M
8. Smallfoot — $4.8M
9. Night School — $3.3M
10. Mid90s — $3M

    I knew the Blumhouse model was low budgets, but damn. I didn’t think they were able to still do that with a Halloween sequel. They had already made back their budget from Thursday night preview showings lol.

    This is my new favorite comedy-horror? Or is it horror-comedy?
