Regretting you AND Black phone 2 at the top of North American presences
Halloween weekend just passed. As reported The Hollywood journalist, two feature films of very different genres have taken over the North American box office. That is to say romantic drama Regretting you (based on the book of the same name by Colleen Hoover) and the horror movie Black phone 2.
The winner of this remote duel is unclear. Because according to Paramount, Regretting you finished first with $8.1 million. But Universal claims these figures are exaggerated and this Black phone 2 did better with 8 million. Rival studios also put the horror film first. In any case, This weekend’s overall attendance figures were catastrophic.
Worst box office in 31 years!
In total, last weekend’s box office receipts stood at $49.8 million. This in reality the worst weekend of the year for cinemas. But also worst Halloween weekend in 31 years. (This excludes weekend 2020, when movie theaters were forced to close due to Covid.)

One of the causes of this very low total is the absence of great success see right now. So that was the last time movie revenue for a Halloween weekend was lower 1993. Only in that moment $49.2 million were collected over this weekend. Historically, Halloween is a tough weekend for movie theaters. Especially when the day of celebration falls on a Friday, as it did this year.
Good overall scores for both films despite everything
If Regretting you released October 29 in France, it just spent its second weekend in U.S. theaters. Since it premiered, the film has been collecting $27.5 million in North America and $23.3 million internationally. Or a total of $50.8 million. A very honorable score. Mainly because it’s expensive 30 million to produce second Variety.
For his part, Black phone 2 it was released on October 15 in France and two days later in North America. It has just passed the symbolic threshold of 100 million dollars in revenue. In all, he collected 61.5 million in North American theaters and 43.3 million internationallyfor a total of more than 104 million. According to Variety, its production cost is too 30 million.
