Box Office: ‘Halloween Kills’ Opens to Killer $50.4M Despite Dual Peacock Launch

is doing killer business at the domestic box office, where it scared up the biggest debut of the pandemic era for a horror film or a movie opening simultaneously on the big screen and a streaming service.

Halloween KillsDay-and-date releases, a controversial practice, have become commonplace during the pandemic as media conglomerates race to grow their streaming services and use feature movies as bait. Previously,Related Stories

I will be surprised if it gets anywhere near AQP2’s $160m domestic gross box office.

How does this fit in the timeline?

It was kinda cool, but literally had no point

How are the reviews on it compared to the previous Halloween movies?

It’s sucked actually. The previous one was way Better

As it should

Shows again if its a film audiences want to see in movie theatres they will see it movie theatres as horrors are films fans want to see with an audience rather than home alone... Dune next week will be a different story away from cinephiles

Saw the movie in the theater. It was awful! So much worse than the first part 3 years ago

ori should have stayed dead...these movies are sad..Killyourdarlings ( end your franchises before they are vandalized)

the dual release success is encouraging as fuck for future filmmakers

😳😱

My friends and I have Peacock, but we had to see Michael Myers on the big screen. So worth it. We are going again today to watch it.

Why AMC stock continues to drop?🥴🚬

TheRealBHugh I wonder if the fact that lots of people still never heard of the peacock or only have the the free version. Last one was a watchable movie for a rainy afternoon. Didn't like they ignored Halloween II. Will see this one since I get it free with Comcast.

🎥👀👹🎃

This is HUGE, jason_blum jamieleecurtis KyleRichards 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

He got hungry 🔪💰

Mostly good reviews on it? Or mixed?

I mean, how many people pay for Peacock not to mention Halloween Kills is not exactly a movie that'll get me to give NBC/Universal a paid subscription.

Nobody have Peacock

That's 3 weekends in a row $50M+ 1 film, DUNE looking really good right now

this is amazing considering that the film was released simultaneously in theaters and on Peacock

Box Office: ‘Halloween Kills’ Heads for Killer $50M Opening Despite Dual Peacock LaunchThe slasher film is having no trouble defeating James Bond pic 'No Time to Die' while Ridley Scott's historical epic 'The Last Duel' is bombing in its debut. Saw it last night. Complete rubbish. And I am a huge Michael Myers fan. Danny McBride should never write anything again. The end where Michael kills Jamie Leigh Curtis's daughters in his sister's room was the only part of the movie that felt exciting. The rest was crap. Awesome. 👏👏👏👏 Jamie Lee wins again
