Terrible at the US box office! The final installment of the Halloween trilogy is at the top of the weekend entries, with Smiley in second place.
to remember
The latest confrontation between Laurie Strode and Michael Myers took in more than $41 million at the US box office this weekend. Figures below expectations. Forecasters predicted $55 million in revenue. But releasing David Gordon Green’s feature film simultaneously in theaters and on a streaming platform Peacock prevent Halloween is over to achieve the expected result.
The final installment of the trilogy is also doing less well than Halloween Kills, which recorded $49.4 million during its opening weekend in the middle of the pandemic, and Halloween, which made 76.2 million in 2018.
according to Deadline, Halloween Ends is the most watched movie on the platform during the two-day period. Figures were not provided, but the flow analytics firm Samba-tv Estimated 2.8 million viewers on Smart TV.
Simultaneous streaming is billed
Christopher Landon, director of Happy Birthdead and Freaky, criticizes the strategy of Universal and studios who continue to release their films simultaneously in theaters and on their platforms.
He tweeted: “Soooooo, I feel another hype coming on: Today is the day and date exit strategy for the end of Halloween. Stop doing this. please. It doesn’t work. Studios: Stop messing with filmmakers and their films to try and support your new streaming services.”
“It happened to me on Freaky and it ruined us. We worked really hard to make a fun movie. Blood, sweat and tears. It’s been a few months from our families. And why ? They like to use the expression: “Two bites of the apple.”(Editor’s note: An Anglo-Saxon expression meaning to have two ways of getting what one wants) But that’s another way of saying “we’ll use your movie as a guinea pig” for our streaming service. he added in another tweet.
