i'll admit the Halloween trailers did a good job of hitting all the points to make your expectations thar you're getting a halloween finale....but
wow @ lyle lye holding strong...but i suppose it makes sense, it's the only family friendly flick out for counter programming
I guess they aren't hands-on in the production, they just distributed this trilogy. This was all Gordon Green and Blumhouse fukkin around. 
The fact that Blumhouse is giving DGG & McBride the keys to direct a requel trilogy to The Exorcist after this fall-off isI can't blame Universal. They had to sell their movie.

Halloween (2018) earning 160mil off of a 10mil budget got them earning extra lives, I guess. On another note, Terrifier 2 was a great watch in theaters and I’m glad it got the shine.
Art the Clown stole the thunder from Michael this year.
Yeah I probably ain't gonna see it opening weekend. hopefully wom is good.Lotta seats available for the Friday 7:15 showing in IMAX.
Lost City did well? Wasn't really paying any attention when it came out
great variety too. Those are all very distinct films.
It grossed $190 Million worldwide on a $68 million budget.
Nobody’s adaptation is touching Friedkin’s, but I’m shocked they didn’t give someone like Mike Flanagan or Ti West the nod. Find it hard to believe DGG/McBride will respect the original material and not add unnecessary comedic quips in something as serious as an Exorcist property.I didn't realize it was Blumhouse throwing a bag at DGG. The Exorcist was a Warner Bros. and Fox property. Now Universal has the rights and they literally running the same playbook. After each Halloween grossed less on opening weekend, domestically and worldwide.
I didn't see The Terrifier 1 or 2 but I know it was Corey the Copycat who stole the thunder from Mike this year.

Evil has officially died tonight. That was worse than Halloween Kills' 70.8% decline in its second weekend. 
Mike get punked in the sewer. I don't blame them.
It's now grossed $54.1M after it's second weekend, down from Kills' $73M. Worldwide, it's limply slashed it's way to $82M.
1/2 is high praise for a horror movie and far and away the best rating for one this year. @Lootpack you agree with that?

Definitely. Barbarian isn’t my favorite horror release this year but I can see why others have put it up there as their #1. Great tension building, comedic moments actually hit, and the sound design contributed greatly to the atmosphere. Cregger did well for a directorial debut; I could tell how much he drew inspiration from Raimi with the larger-than-life direction. Word of mouth for it seemed just as strong as The Black Phone’s too.Notables Outside the Top Five
Another horror movie, Terrifier 2, finished in the top ten, with $1.8M from only 755 theaters. It's now up to $5.2 this Halloween season.
For the first time in it's seven weekends, Barbarian finished out of the top ten. It's $589K was good for eleventh place. It's now crossed the $40M mark domestically at $40.1M. It makes it HBO debut next week.
