    Box office opiners ponder on how much Halloween will make

    This is the latest thought from insiders: The new John Carpenter revamp remake reimagining will make  somewhere between $50-$85 million opening weekend.


    That will be considered strong if it occurs …
    The movie cost about $10 mil to make..

    But what may also matter is staying power. The movie premieres only days before the actual Halloween on calendars so the film may not be relative beyond its initial week..

    And while some positive word of mouth and excitement have been generated by creative trailers, if the movie is just plain bad it could drop handily in dollars by Sunday opening weekend..

    Halloween will premiere this September at the Toronto International Film Festival

    Ahead of its October 19, 2018 release via Universal Pictures, writer and director David Gordon Green’s hotly-anticipated Halloween is set for its world premiere this September as a Midnight Madness selection of the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival, which runs September 6 – 16!

    Tickets are available here..

    From the official press release:

    “This year’s Midnight Madness slate promises another idiosyncratic confluence of established and emerging genre filmmakers,” Midnight Madness programmer Peter Kuplowsky said of the selection in a press statement. “To complement some of the buzziest provocations on the festival circuit, I have sought to curate an eccentric array of World Premieres that demonstrate the dexterity of genre cinema as a canvas for both sublime satisfaction and stunning subversion. That includes – Halloween – which boldly and brilliantly builds upon its mythic iconography to thrilling and surprising effect.”

    Halloween forty years later: The night the trailer came home

    The official HALLOWEEN 40 trailer revealed..

    Reaction across the net has been strong and supportive.. While there were initial reports that the movie had to be re shot and re-screened to ensure viewer support (especially people angry at the end) this initial finished product trailer appears to capture the spirit of the original Halloween, along with the music and feel. There is one interesting part where people are asking if Michael Myers was Laurie Strode’s brother, with one person answering that it was just a rumor and not true.

    The mask in the film appears extremely similar to HALLOWEEN 2’s version..

    It will be interesting to see the way John Carpenter takes this script and re imagines the original storyline of the babysitter killers he made famous in 1978–40 years ago this year.

    Will the magic of Michael Myers continue with this generation? Or. . . has too much time passed for the iconic HALLOWEEN slasher to remain frightening?
