‘Halloween Kills’ Remains in the Box Office Top 10 With $127 Million Worldwide

Published

on

Now in its fourth week of theatrical and at-home release (via Peacock), Halloween Kills was bumped down to the #7 spot on the box office charts, pushed out of last week’s #2 spot by big time films including Marvel’s Eternals (#1) and Dune (#2), as well as No Time to Die (#3), Venom: Let There Be Carnage (#4), Ron’s Gone Wrong (#5), and The French Dispatch (#6).

This past weekend (Friday-Sunday), Halloween Kills made another $2,350,000 at 3,098 theaters in the U.S., bringing the slasher sequel’s domestic total to $89,715,075 so far.

Worldwide, the new movie has made $126,995,075 to date.

Back in 2018, Halloween ended its worldwide theatrical run with $255 million, $159 million of which was made here in the United States. Of course, the release of that film was an entirely different situation that’s essentially beyond compare, as the 2018 franchise relaunch was not released during a pandemic and also was not released at home on the same day as theaters.

What we do know about the at-home release of Halloween Kills, on that note, is that the film was the number one non-live event premiere in Peacock’s history.

Theatrically, Halloween Kills is likely to remain under $150 million at the worldwide box office, which would bring its total to about $100 million less than the previous movie’s.

No matter, Halloween Ends is *definitely* happening, with filming set to begin early next year. At this time, Halloween Ends is set to arrive in theaters on October 14, 2022.

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things),  Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
