Box Office: ‘Halloween Ends’ Opens to So-So $41M, Lowest of Trilogy
Logo text
David Gordon Green’s Halloween Ends isn’t having an entirely happy sendoff at the box office.
The movie — the final in the trilogy returning Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode — opened to $41.2 million from 3,901 theaters, the lowest of the three films. Heading into the weekend, Hallloween Ends was expected to open in the same range as Halloween Kills, or $50 million.
Overseas, it scared up $17.2 million for a global start of $58.4 million against a modest $30 million budget.

Halloween Ends grossed more than enough to win the weekend domestically for Universal, Miramax and Blumhouse. It is only the 12th film of 2022 so far to open to $40 million or more.
Both pics launched simultaneously on Peacock, so the day-and-date issue doesn’t entirely explain the difference at the box office. Universal and the streamers didn’t provide numbers but said the movie has become the most-watched series or film of all time over a two-day period on the platform.
While the two films received roughly the same critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, Halloween Ends received lower audience exit polls and a C+ CinemaScore, compared to B- for Halloween Kills.
After scaring up a healthy $5.4 million in Thursday previews, the numbers took a disappointing turn for Halloween Ends.
Green’s 2018 Halloween reboot debuted with a record-breaking $76.2 million on its way to earning north of $250 million worldwide. The well-reviewed pic also saw Nick Castle reprise his signature role as the menacing monster Michael Myers.
Halloween Ends no doubt is facing competition from Paramount’s sleeper horror hit Smile, which cleared $12.3 million in its third weekend to come in No. 2 and finish Sunday with a domestic total of $71.2 million and foreign tally of $66.4 million.
Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile placed No. 3 with $7.4 million for a domestic total of $22.8 million and $26.4 million globally, followed by fellow Sony pic The Woman King with $3.7 million for a domestic total of $59.7 million and worldwide cume of $76.5 million (eOne is a partner on Woman King).
David O. Russell’s troubled Amsterdam fell to $2.9 million in its second weekend for a domestic total of $12 million and $18.6 million total. The star-packed film stands to lose New Regency $80 million to $100 million.
While Halloween Ends may have been the only new wide release of the weekend, there’s plenty of action at the specialty box office as awards contenders begin to open in earnest.
Director Chinonye Chukwu’s acclaimed drama Till, starring Danielle Deadwyler as the mother of Emmett Till — a young Black boy who is lynched in the Jim Crow South — is opening in 16 locations. The film, from MGM and UAR, scored a promising per-location average of $15,000 and boasts a rare 100 percent critics score on Rotten Tomatoes. The film opened in five markets — Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington, D.C. — and drew exceptional exit scores. Till is a passion project for Bond producer Barbara Broccoli, Keith Beauchamp and Whoopi Goldberg.
South Korean auteur Park Chan-wook’s Decision to Leave, opening in three theaters this weekend, reported a promising location average of $28,000.
Focus Features’ Tár held well in its second weekend, posting a per-screen average of $10,000 as it expanded into a total of 36 locations.
Neon’s Triangle of Sadness, also in its second weekend, posted a per-screen average of roughly $10,333 from 30 cinemas.
