As audiences were drawn away by Halloween festivities, the box office saw a relatively slow weekend. However, several films managed to stand out.
The reissue of the 'Twilight' saga earned $1.5M on Wednesday, indicating ongoing interest in the Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart-led franchise. This comes as the Halloween holiday frame sees a shift in moviegoing patterns.
Elsewhere, Netflix's Kpop Demon Hunters is expected to make a strong showing, potentially earning over $5M and challenging the top spots. This would mark a significant improvement from its previous wide release in August, which saw a $19M 2-day No. 1 take.
Additionally, Focus Features' Bugonia, the fifth collaboration between director Yorgos Lanthimos and actress Emma Stone, is eyeing a $4M second-weekend performance. This would represent the biggest wide release for the acclaimed Greek filmmaker to date.
Overall, while the Halloween weekend traditionally sees a dip in box office numbers, these films have managed to capture the attention of audiences and make their mark on the industry.
