the last installment of the franchise dies at the top of the box office.

Halloween, director David Gordon Green's entry into the long-running horror franchise, climbed to the top of the box office weekend, winning $ 77.5 million, said Variety. This gives Jamie Lee Curtis' slasher film the best opening weekend for a movie in the series, easily beating the previous record holder, Rob Zombie's Halloween, which had returned $ 26.3 million during its opening weekend in 2007. Adjusted for inflation, this represents a little over $ 32 million today, that is to say: still a lot less than the most recent Halloween just done.

In fact, the new movie has already yielded more in raw dollars than any of the other ten Halloween the movies have never done, and is in fourth place for the franchise after a weekend after calculating for inflation. The highest rate of increase adjusted for inflation Halloween The film remains the original of 1978, which earned $ 183.6 million in 2018 dollars, but even though the 2018 Halloween $ 83.9 million earned in 1981 after adjustment for inflation. Halloween II $ 107.2 million adjusted for inflation compared to 1998 Halloween: H20 are at hand.

HalloweenThe successful debut of Smash has been pretty well compared to otherHalloween films also, at least in certain categories. This is the second best start for a horror movie rated R, behind he (making it the highest start for a horror movie rated R with a female role) and the second most important opening weekend for an exit in October, just behind Venom.
Inflation does not have much to do with these rankings, because the expanded and reliable opening weekends are relatively recent phenomena, while the horror openings R-rated and d & # 39; October are relatively small ponds.

For example, Halloween It would have to spend more than $ 200 million more than it was already to break the 300 highest indexed national incomes of all time. Currently, No. 300 is Thesilenceofthelambs, which received only $ 13.8 million during its first weekend ($ 25.5 million in 2018, much less than Halloween), but reached $ 130.7 million gross on the domestic market before the end of its theatrical tour ($ 283.8 million in 2018 dollars). Thesilenceofthelambs opened widely for its day (1,497 theaters), but Halloween worked with more than twice as many places (3,928), which is why it is easier for a recent movie to experience a record opening weekend. Similarly, Halloween I just live the best opening weekend of all Jamie Lee Curtis movies, adjusted for inflation or not, but we should continue to earn money long after the end of Halloween Real lies'Gross domestic total adjusted for inflation of nearly $ 320 million.

Abroad, Halloween An additional $ 14.3 million, for a total opening of $ 91.8 million. Second place went to A star is bornwhich added $ 19.3 million to a total of $ 126.4 million; Venom come in third with $ 18.1 million, for a total of $ 171.1 million. None of the weekend starts apart Halloween open widely: Jonah Hill Mid 1990s was No. 18, shooting $ 249,500 from 4 screens, while Can you ever forgive me? earned $ 150,000 on 5 screens for 20^th in law.
