Halloween is back! On Friday it had the largest October opening with 33 million (edging out Venom which had 32.5 million).
Halloween ended up taking home a wildly impressive $77.5 million over three days. For a franchise many had thought dead, this new reboot/sequel has revitalized the series and talks of a sequel are already underway.
“Biggest horror movie opening with a female lead. Biggest movie opening with a female lead over 55. Second biggest October movie opening ever. Biggest Halloween opening ever,” Jamie Lee Curtis tweeted, adding the hashtag #WomenGetThingsDone.

To say the horror genre is back is a lazy and uneducated comment. What people should be saying is good movies are back with good movie makers.
Take note Hollywood, make a good movie and people actually show up. Halloween isn’t just good, it’s great. And well deserving of all the praise it is getting.
