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).
