I expect an AWIT size increase during the Nutcracker opening weekend...

Halloween’s opening day would’ve been a good opening weekend 

 

 

[Brainbug]

It kinda saddens me that the thread has only 16 pages though...

[filmlover]

lol those early numbers for Bad Times predicted too good of a hold. This drop makes more sense.

[catlover]

Wow is October OW record gonna be broken twice in the same year? I hope it is, cause that would be exciting. It's gonna be so close!

Yeah, and considering the OD & OW of all the other Halloween-movies...it’s a legendary record for the franchise.

[Johnny Tran]

I'm not speaking on Halloween yet because I haven't seen it yet I'm trying to avoid spoilers but damn that's a wonderful OD..    Holy shit,  and this is coming from someone who thought it'd be big but I didn't imagine THIS big.. 

[filmlover]

I think what worked for Halloween is that it was able to re-energize excitement for a franchise that had been sullied over the decades by crappy sequels/remakes by promising to be the real sequel to the original that we've all been waiting for. Getting Curtis (who graduated well beyond the franchise and never faded mostly into obscurity like the Scream cast did between the third and fourth films) back was also a major plus.

[Valonqar]

Phenomenal for Halloween and well deserved! 

[sfran43]

 

[John Marston]

Halloween might break the record. Depends on Saturday number.

Another Elm Street movie should have been put in development after It, but now after Halloween 2018 they really have no excuse.

if they do another Elm Street I hope they don't do the "ignore every sequel" thing. Dream Warriors and New Nightmare are arguably better than the original. I'm still not too happy they ignored Halloween II

[baumer]

Well I'm thrilled to see Halloween open this big and I really hope it sets the October record. This is a great time to be a horror movie fan and a great time to be a Halloween fan 2.

[Napoleon]

M***** fans still salty over Venom's incredible success.

[dxmatrixdt]

the Friday # was a good catch in the box office bottle. 

Careful inspection of Saturday crowd reports and comparisons necessary to find an increase today.  

Venom did a little over 26, IT made like 45.  

 

25.6 + 26.2 + 17.0 + 7.7 = 76.5

 

Logan had a good near40% increase Saturday, so maybe 30 Saturday is possible with Halloween, but it is still going to have to catch a lot of fans who still have yet to see it + general interest

looking at how Halloween, as horror thriller surges to 80m+ with 7.7m preview night, I would say RT effect is still out there
