Halloween sucks but it's on course to make over $30 million

Halloween have been inherently negative. There's so many bad reviews out there and reading the type of things that Rob Zombie has done with his movie has just made me cringe. The huge amount of detail in Myers backstory? Making Myers the sympathetic lead character? Making Dr. Loomis a sideshow character? Sure, all this had been speculated well before the film's release to be actually see that he went through with it all is just shocking. The reviews that have come in tell us the movie is easily as bad as we expected it to be and is in truth, probably worse. Sadly though it's made money and it's going to continue making money throughout the weekend for Dimension. An estimated $10.5 million taking on Friday should mean a 4 day weekend taking of over $30 million, a big success for the studio and easily enough for more Halloween sequels and probably more Friday the 13th's, Elm Steet's and whatever old slasher franchise they can be dug up, as all eyes were on how this film performed to see if it was worthwhile. The movie is the biggest success of Rob Zombie's career and after penning a two movie deal with Dimension, he must feel on top of the world right now, although how he handles the criticism for his movie should be interesting. Elsewhere, Balls of Fury opened to $3.4 million which should result in around $6.5 million. Death Sentence flopped to a $1.6 million opening which will barely reach $6 million by the end of the weekend whilst Superbad is touted to add another big total to it's gross with an estimated $17 million on the cards. source - slash film, fantasy moguls
