Halloween frightens off box office competition

By Alexandra Heilbron on September 4, 2007 | 10 Comments

Rob Zombie‘s Halloween remake frightened off the competition at the weekend box office, opening in the top spot with a take of $26.5 million (all figures US). The top movie for the past two weeks, Superbad, was knocked to second place with $12.2 million. Balls of Fury debuted in third, grossing $11.6 million, while The Bourne Ultimatum dropped two spots to fourth, with a total North American gross just shy of the $200 million mark. Rounding out the top five was Rush Hour 3, earning an additional $8.5 million for a total take of $120.4 million.

   5 STARS! Sets a bold new standard for slasher movie excellence; McDowell reinvents Michael Myers and makes the character his own.

   Hockey mask? WTF are you retarded? Myers wears an old Ronald Reagan mask spray painted white, geez you moron get your movies right. Google the hockey mask and you might actually learn something today other then breathing.
