‘Halloween Ends’ Takes a SHOCKING -80% Drop in Second Weekend

After a debut below projections, “Halloween Ends” returns to shock at the box office. In its second weekend of exposure, the Blumhouse film suffered a monstrous drop of -80%, grossing just $8 million in the United States.

From the top, horror fell to fourth place at the North American box office, overtaken by “Sorria” ($8.4 million), which is currently in its fourth weekend.

And what was the reason for this fall? In addition to the film’s simultaneous release on Peacock’s streaming service – a strategy that has already proven unproductive for the films’ longevity on the big screen – the film also suffered great rejection from a sizable portion of viewers, reflecting a predominantly negative opinion. repercussion.

In the United States, “Halloween Ends” has already grossed $54.1 million. In the international market, it was 82 million US dollars.

In total, the production amounts to 82 million US dollars worldwide.

It’s worth remembering that some fans were so angry that they created a petition for Blumhouse to change the film’s ending and reshoot the scenes.

“‘Halloween Ends’ was NOT what moviegoers wanted,” says the campaign text. “It was a Corey origin story. We deserve a film worthy of Michael Myers and the franchise’s legacy. We loved this saga and this conclusion left us heartbroken, angry and disappointed. The film showed us a weak and pathetic Michael Myers who needed his mask to survive. This is not our Michael Myers! Our killer is strong, relentless and a force of nature.

With a target of 10,000 signatures, the petition already has nearly 8,000 supporters.

The film received praise from John Carpenter.

As many fans know, the filmmaker’s feature set the tone for the slasher subgenre, with his film focusing primarily on immortal villain Michael Myers as he hunts down nanny Laurie Strode on Halloween night.

Strode, who is central to the new trilogy, is played by Jamie Lee Curtis – of whom Carpenter is a big fan.

While chatting with MovieMaker, Carpenter praised the “risks” of “Halloween Ends” and Curtis’ extraordinary acting, saying:

“It went super well! I liked it a lot. It’s quite different [dos outros filmes da franquia]. I liked the risks taken in the plot. Jamie [Lee Curtis] it’s just amazing. She is just wonderful and I am so proud of her.

“Four years after the events of ‘Halloween Kills’, Laurie lives with her granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) as she finishes writing her memoir. Michael Myers has not been seen since. After being haunted by her presence for decades, Laurie is determined to let go of her fear and start living.But when a young man, Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell), is accused of killing a boy he was babysitting, the return of the violence and terror will force Laurie to finally face the evil she cannot control, once and for all.”
