Bugonia Leads the Pack, But Black Phone 2 Poised to Scare Up Box Office
29 Oct, 2025
Summary
- No major new movie releases this Halloween weekend
- Bugonia and Black Phone 2 are the top contenders
- Black Phone 2 expected to emerge as the box office winner
As Halloween approaches on October 29, 2025, the movie industry is experiencing a quiet weekend with no major new releases. However, two films are vying for the seasonal box office crown.
Bugonia, a new release featuring Emma Stone in the lead role, is expected to expand to more screens and earn between $1 and $5 million at the domestic box office. Meanwhile, the Black Phone sequel is the only film with a good chance of enjoying a boost over the Halloween weekend. It has already raked in $83.1 million worldwide and is poised to emerge as the top performer this weekend.
Despite 2025 being a splendid year for horror films, this Halloween is shaping up to be one of the worst, with popular movies being re-released instead of new offerings. Titles like Back to the Future and the Twilight Saga are among the re-releases that will give audiences some options, but the overall box office turnout is predicted to be disappointing.
