‘Regretting You’ Fuels Worst Halloween Box Office in 31 Years

Los Angeles – Halloween weekend‍ at the North American box office​ saw a notable ⁣downturn, ⁢marking the lowest-grossing frame in⁣ 31⁣ years, with​ a total of $28.8 million. This ⁤decline was⁢ largely attributed ⁢to the​ underperformance of ⁣new releases, including “Five Nights at Freddy’s,” and a lack of major ‍blockbusters competing ⁣with the⁤ holiday’s traditional appeal.

While established titles like Back to ‌the⁤ Future and ​ Rocky​ picture⁤ Horror Show saw rereleases, and all five Twilight ⁤ movies‍ were screened to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Stephenie Meyer’s novel, these offerings weren’t enough‍ to bolster overall numbers. The Twilight rerelease, a ‍partnership between Fathom and lionsgate, played ⁤in roughly 1,500 theaters over five days (Oct.29 – ⁣Nov.2) and generated an estimated ‌$3.5 million in ticket sales, ‍including $1.5 million for the first film’s Oct. 29 showing. Due to its rollout,it did⁢ not appear on the‍ weekend’s top‌ 10 chart.

Paul Thomas Anderson’s awards contender, One Battle After Another, starring Leonardo ⁢DiCaprio,⁣ remained in ⁣the top 10,‌ earning $1.2 million ‍from 954 runs,⁣ bringing its ⁢domestic total to $67.8 million.‍ The film‍ is ‌approaching $200 million globally, with $123 million from ⁣international markets. This surpasses Anderson’s previous highest-grossing film, 2007’s There Will Be Blood ‍($77.2 million,unadjusted),and significantly exceeds the⁣ $37 million earned by 2024’s Licorice Pizza.

Another special‍ event release, the Depeche Mode: M concert⁣ film⁤ from ​sony Music Vision and Trafalgar, grossed $1.1 million domestically and $4.7 million overseas, totaling $5.7 million from over ⁣2,600 cinemas in 70 countries.‌ Directed by Fernando ⁢Frías, the film explores the band’s influence and their 2023 Memento⁣ Mori tour. IMAX screens accounted ‍for 29 percent of all ticket sales.

Estimates were revised⁢ on‍ Nov. 2 at 12 p.m. and again‍ at 4:15 p.m. with additional foreign⁤ data.
