MGM (Weinstein)’s Halloween scared audiences into the box office over the weekend, debuting in first place with a strong $26.36 million from 3,472 theaters. The Rob Zombie directed horror film, a pseudo remake of the 1978 John Carpenter classic, now holds the record for biggest opening in the series, ahead of 1998’s Halloween H20 ($16.19 million). Though critics and fans don’t seem enamored with the quality of the film, it certainly has done well at the box office, a fact I’m sure MGM (Weinstein) is quite pleased with.
It also now holds the record for biggest Labor Day weekend (Labor Day numbers are included below).
Year-to-year the top 10 box office was up by 17.2%.
