IT ow was 9x the previews. NUN was 10x.

8-10x gives Halloween 62-77 ow.

Based on the fanbase of the franchise, this is probably heading towards slightly higher than the Nun OW. 55-60m on that number.

I think it’ll be frontloaded too, an opening in the $60m range looks possible. Which is gigantic for this 

[filmlover]

In all seriousness, Jason Blum has to be one of the smartest businesspeople in Hollywood right now. He sees a profit every time (and as an added bonus, most of the movies he produces get positive receptions too).

Paranormal Activity had 8 mln midnights and 53 mln week-end. I doubt it will be the same frontloaded, stand with my 60-65 mln prediction.

The Blumhouse model doesn't always succeed but it's an impressive hit rate and it's not just the horror films as well as he produced Whiplash and BlackKklansman on low budgets as well. 

 

I think Halloween might give other studios thought to revive their old properties. I think a new Nightmare on Elm Street would be something WB/New Line would consider.

Blade Runner 2049 says hi.... just kidding Halloween is gonna be fine. The budget is $10 million, does over $55-$65 million opening weekend so a $135-$145 miiom stateside total wouldn’t be bad for a slasher movie

So Baumer's club is probably in trouble now.

Good preview number, the weekend depends on how frontloaded to Friday it will be. Probably a 60-65M weekend currently. Maybe it can get to 70. 

 

Reading the Deadline report, I saw that Paranormal 3 opened to 8M midnights. That franchise had a huge fall from grace at the end.

[DAJK]

Not trying to sound pessimistic at all but no way does Baumer’s club happen now. Even if the movie’s great, it’s probably going to be front loaded as hell. 65M looks like tops for it at this point, even if legging it to 70 wouldn’t surprise me.

 

But I’d be shocked (and pleased of course) if it somehow made it to 80

[Brainbug]

Screw Deadline.

 

Still, a fantastic number. Ofc some here (including me) hoped for more, but for a slasher film, this is just bonkers.

[Rman823]

My hopes for the OW record:
