The Halloweekend Box Office Was Scary Bad
"Regretting Youbeat The Black Phone 2for number one at the box office this Halloween weekend. Why? According to box office prognosticators, it's because Colleen Hoover is for girls and baseball is for boys. The World Series (and Halloween parties) put a major ding in the box office this weekend, the worst all year according to . Regretting You took in $8.1 million in its second week of release, with The Black Phone 2 almost tying with $8.0 mil."
"Chainsaw Mancame in at number 3 with $6 million, followed by Kpop Demon Hunters with $5.3 mil, and Bugonia with $4.8 million in its first week going wide. The other big release this weekend was every single Twilight movie. On Wednesday, the 20th anniversary re-release of Twilight took in $1.5 million, with New Moon racking up another half millie. We don't have data on the re-release box office for Eclipse and the Breakings Dawn yet, but it's possible the Twilight Saga cumulatively entered the top 5."
Regretting You earned $8.1 million in its second week and reclaimed the top spot, narrowly beating The Black Phone 2, which grossed about $8.0 million. Chainsaw Man finished third with $6 million. Kpop Demon Hunters earned $5.3 million. Bugonia opened wide with $4.8 million. The World Series and Halloween parties depressed overall box office, producing the worst weekend of the year. Box office prognosticators attributed the outcome partly to a gendered audience split, with Colleen Hoover titles drawing female viewers and baseball events drawing male viewers. Twilight re-releases added modest grosses, with Twilight and New Moon contributing $1.5 million and $0.5 million.
