Halloween Kills

Halloween Kills took the top of the box office for the weekend with an estimated $50.4 million. That’s a pretty solid opening for the film which also opened on Peacock and during COVID. The relaunched franchise’s first film opened with $76.2 million in 2018 and went on to earn $159.3 million domestically and $96.3 million internationally.

Internationally, the film didn’t hold up as well earning just $5.5 million. That slashes a decent $55.9 million worldwide for the first weekend of the film. With mixed reviews, it’ll be interesting to see what legs the film has at the box office.

No Time to Die dipped to second place dropping just 56% to earn an estimated $24.3 million. The film has now earned $99.5 million in two weeks domestically. Over the week, the film earned about $91 million at the international box office. There it has now earned $348.3 million. Worldwide, the film has grossed $447.8 million.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage dipped another 48% coming in third and earning an estimated $16.5 million. The film has now grossed $168.1 million after three weeks. The film has picked up a bit internationally. Over the week, it earned about $71.7 million to bring that total to $115.6 million. Worldwide, the film has grossed $283.7 million.

The Addams Family 2 slipped one spot coming in fourth. The film dropped just 28.9% and earned an estimated $7.2 million. Domestically, the film has grossed $42.3 million. Internationally, the film grossed about $11.6 million over the week to bring that total to $16.2 million. Worldwide, the film has grossed $58.5 million.

Rounding out the top five was The Last Duel which debuted with $4.8 million. The film also grossed $4.2 million at the international box office bringing its global debut to a bit over $9 million.

In comic films…

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings dropped out of the top five to come in at #6 for the weekend. The film grossed an estimated $3.5 million to bring its domestic total to $218.1 million. The film also grossed about $7.1 million at the international box office where it now stands out $196.2 million. Worldwide, the film has grossed $414.3 million. The film currently stands at #7 for the year and not likely to climb much higher as #6 is held by No Time to Die with a $33 million gap between the two.

Black Widow earned a bit domestically over the week. Domestically, the film has grossed a little under $183.7 million. The international total has moved adding about $200,00 million over the week where it now stands at $195.7 million. Worldwide, the film has grossed $379.4 million.

Old added an estimated $40,000. Domestically, the film has grossed $48.2 million. Internationally, the film stood at $41.9 million. Worldwide, the film has grossed a little over $90.1 million.

The Suicide Squad didn’t show up on the weekend chart and looks like it remained steady during the week. Domestically, the film has grossed $55.8 million. The film has also earned $111.6 million internationally. Worldwide, the film has grossed $167.4 million.

Initial numbers have 46 films earning $108,902,605 from 27,598 theaters. That’s about the same as last weekend’s 47 films which earned $108,802,855 from 28,506 theaters.
