Those screams you hear coming from Hollywood are not screams of pain. It is 100% joy. Repeating atop the weekend box office is Universal’s reboot of Blumhouse and Miramax’s Halloween.
The hit dipped a respectable 58% in its second weekend, delivering an estimated $32 million in its second weekend causing its domestic kills, sorry money, to reach $126 million.
Halloween is also the #1 film internationally, delivering an estimated $25.6 million from 62 markets for an international total that now stands at $45.6 million and a global cume topping $172 million. comScore’s Senior Media Analyst Paul Dergarabedian commented, “Universal’s horror hit Halloween has another great weekend pulling in $57.645 million globally in its second weekend for a worldwide total to date of $172.3 million.”
