Important lessons that Hollywood can take from Halloween 2018

While Halloween has always been one of the biggest brands of horror, no previous release of the franchise has been as successful as the new David Gordon Green movie. In just three days, the sequel was able to make more money than any previous chapter in its respective drama series, and the goal was achieved in part because the film surged on a wave of positive buzz since close a month.

There is no doubt that the massive achievements of the new Halloween – and this success deserves analysis and recognition. This is due in large part to the fact that the film has taken some special steps that other studios should absolutely pay attention to. They break down into five lessons in total, so let's dive into:

The remakes are stupid

Is it a broad generalization? Of course. The story is filled with filmmakers taking new intelligent ideas and making fantastic touch ups. At the same time, however, when we consider what the new Halloween brought to the table, the benefits of the long-awaited sequel to the live remake are quite clear. Not only are the numbers consistent, David Gordon Green's movie is expected to yield more than double the box office of two reboot entries from director Rob Zombie (combined) a decade ago, but there's also no to discuss the creative possibilities offered by one tactic over the other.

Do not be a remake, the new Halloween does not speak specifically about the weakness of the remakes – but what it shows is simply the immense possibility that fits into a logic of continuation. In this particular case, the timeline of the franchise seems to be about a little more DIY (more than a second to second), but the willingness to tell a story 40 years later is the real key to the film's success. Rather than simply walking through a trampled territory to create a facsimile, the film has the opportunity to reflect perfectly on what has gone before and use it in an imaginative and engaging way.

There is no point in clicking the reset button if there is a solid base on which to support it, and we come to a point in Hollywood where decision makers are starting to understand.
