This movie is tanking fast

$41 million opening weekend and $6 million total Monday through Thursday this week. That means it’ll do around $6 million to maybe $10 million at absolute best this weekend. That’s a gigantic drop off in the movie industry. Word of mouth is killing this. Still haven’t got a clue as to what they were thinking with the brand new Corey storyline dominating 85% of the third part of a new trilogy that was suppose to wrap up a 40 year story but it’s going to haunt them. This will be one of those movies considered as an all time failure.

I’m afraid I concur

The second weekend drop is projected to be around 70%. Which is a bad drop off. Real bad. I personally hope it has an 80+% drop off, that would be historically brutal and the worst I know of.

Updated projection is 78%. LMAO.

Halloween Ends ($2.7M Friday, off 87%, good for $8.7M at 3,901 theaters, -78%; running total $54.8M).

The only horror film I'm aware of that did that bad is Friday the 13th (2009). This thing is going of a fucking cliff.

It's quite similar to the F13 remake in it's trajectory.

Halloween Ends earned 88% less this Friday than it did last Friday. Brutal drop.

An interesting list that Halloween Ends will be on come Monday I expect. It's very sad to see that happen to a Halloween movie, but they knew the risk they were taking when they made the film the way they did. Interesting to note is that Halloween Kills is at 106 itself.

Interesting list, thanks for sharing;
Friday the 13th (2009) is 14th.
Texas Chainsaw (2013) is 44th.
A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) is 79th.
Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993) is 100th.

I don't even recognize a lot of titles high in that list and a few of them are re-releases of films that are decades old (Wizard of Oz, Close Encounters of the Third Kind) which explains the drop offs.
