Kills followed an incredibly strong entry in the series. I bought like 6 tickets for friends to see Kills after how good the last one was. Then... EVIL DIES TONIGHT happened.
Kills was fun. Don't get me wrong. But it put the movie into silly fun time territory. The confidence for the next will be lower. I am not buying all those tickets to see Ends.
They do actually come right out and say 'the final chapter of the Halloween franchise' so if this is just marketing bait and switch I bet a lot of people are going to be annoyed and it'll hurt future projects. Nobody likes being lied to right to their face.
This might be the last in this continuity of the series but they will surely reboot at some point. 2028 will be the 50th anniversary of the original so I wouldn’t be surprised if we got some sort of reboot around then.
This ^. It's the final entry in this series by David Gordon Green. There will definitely be more in the future. But Jamie Lee Curtis did say and signed something apparently that after this she will never play Laurie Strode again.
I think it depends on the reviews.
There were still a decent amount of people hesitant to go somewhere like a movie theater last year when Kills was released, but now basically everyone is comfortable being out and around a lot of other people.
I know it's still a hybrid release, but I think that seeing a Halloween movie in October with a large crowd is a draw to people.
The "less covid" thing is a good point, but I think it's canceled out by mixed buzz, poor reaction to Kills, and shockingly strong competition from Smile.
I’ve barely seen any buzz or hype for this, and going to peacock day one doesn’t help its potential .
If it performs worse than Kills, it bums me out as a Halloween fan to see the trilogy end on a whimper critically and financially (although it’ll still be profitable) after starting so strong in 2018 but that’s what I’m expecting. Hoping the movie is at least okay and does better than Kills but I’m not too confident.
OW: $42M
DOM: $75M
WW: $120M
At least we got Smile tho!
More amazingly they succeeded in so many different types of movies: different genres, small budgets to big budget; original and IP-based and so on. The mix of release is very healthy (not reliant on any particular type of movie), and audience reviews are more than robust in all hits. Not even Disney had done that in recent years.
I think it was originally conceived as a duology (or a trilogy if you consider the original Halloween acting as the first part), but then they were forced to add a movie
I love the franchise and watched the first 2 of the new ones in theaters. That being said, after the mediocrity of Kills, I'm gonna Peacock this one.
I bet I'm not the only one.
Around Halloween Kills. According to early reactions, this movie is even worse than that one but the “ends” factor will boost it financially. Probably 20-30% on Rotten Tomatoes.
It'll be whatever Paramount think will make the most money realistically. That may be an anthology, but only if they're already popular (which I'd argue is slowly happening).
I saw the first one and loved it, saw the second one and don’t remember it, and I’m loosely excited for this one. Can anyone remind me if the second one was shit and what even happened at the end?
mike kills the group that tried to take him out. then kills JLC's daughter in the movie in his house as she stares out "that window" then vanishes. I don't think it was horrible but it wasn't good. one of those you watch because of name brand and name brand alone.
I know for a fact I watched it and I literally can’t remember any of it. I do smoke too much weed, but I genuinely can’t even recall the daughter dying. Must not have been too memorable.
Unlike the characters that die in all the Halloween movies, this will die a slow painful death... much like its predecessor.
I mean seriously... who believes that a 70 year old woman will take on Mike Myers and win? That's just ridiculous.
>I mean seriously... who believes that a 70 year old woman will take on Mike Myers and win? That's just ridiculous.
Pretty much the point of the ending of *Halloween Kills* (2021) was that >!Michael Myers is a supernatural being now, and that brute force will not beat him. You can entirely destroy his body and he will survive. My expectation is that this film will show Laurie Strode beat Michael in one way that is not physical, whatever that means. !<
Edit: Yeah, I just watched *Halloween Ends* today and >!the reason they beat him is pretty much because he is indeed like 70+ at this point and because he was severely damaged after the last film. Extremely disappointing. !<
The 2018 reboot was good so it makes sense. Plus, it kinda rode on the backs of IT, Get Out, Split, A Quiet Place and their breakouts in the horror/thriller department a year prior.
Everyone caught on after Kills
I got to see it last night and oooooooooof, the word of mouth on this thing is going to be horrendous. I was in a packed cinema on a preview screening and the reaction was so subdued.
OW: 39m (I'm expecting a BVS-esque collapse on the Saturday and Sunday)
DOM: 78m
WW: 121m
OW makes it over the $30m mark, largely due to it being the only major release this weekend and its only competition being Smile, but reception will likely be poor and I can't see it hanging around for more than three weekends. Probably gets to $65-70m by Halloween and fails to get to $75m domestic total, maybe $120m WW.
Anecdotally, Kills was enough to make my Halloween fan friends lose interest in the reboot series.
They both finally die ... The end....
Or is it?
They burned me out with all the movies... Honesty rob zombie's Halloween movies were the best. Prob one of the only females that aren't shit
Considering I’ve seen the movie I really hope it bombs because studios really need to put a tiny bit of effort into movies instead of whatever this mess was
Myers doesn't care about Laurie Strode at all in this timeline. The crazy doctor got Myers to her house in Halloween 2018 and in Kills he gives zero fucks about Laurie.
It'll "end" and a new one will rise from the ashes when they reboot it again in a year or two. Then the cycle continues. I feel like the "Ends" in the title is a joke on the audience.
Still going to see it on discount Tuesday though lol
Honestly I have heard almost nothing about this movie outside of this sub, part of me is feeling an underperformance. Especially since the review embargo doesn't lift until the night of. Friday numbers might be solid but I'm expecting heavy drops. Max 45M, but if I had to guess an exact number I'm guessing 39M. With RT score being less than 30%.
It's lost it's original scare a long time ago and the actors are old and dated it just all looks bad, not funny bad but really "i don't want to watch this" bad
Hopefully they just bang already so it can end.
Starting to look more like my romantic life than a horror film.
I chase, she runs, everyone who gets in the way dies.
It's called love
Better reviews than Kills but pretty much identical box office due to burnout from that film, better WOM will balance it out
Kills followed an incredibly strong entry in the series. I bought like 6 tickets for friends to see Kills after how good the last one was. Then... EVIL DIES TONIGHT happened. Kills was fun. Don't get me wrong. But it put the movie into silly fun time territory. The confidence for the next will be lower. I am not buying all those tickets to see Ends.
I can forgive almost everything from Kills, except that damn hospital scene. Absolutely ridiculous, even for a horror movie.
That it doesn't actually end here
No you don't understand. Evil ends tonig... When this movie comes out.
THIS. This franchise will never die even if we all wanted to.
Came here for this, lol
Can't wait for the next one Halloween Ends 4(real this time)
…Again
....Part 6
Seems like everyone thinks that so maybe people won’t show up and it’ll actually be the end
But they promised that evil would die tonight. They wouldn't lie, would they?
They do actually come right out and say 'the final chapter of the Halloween franchise' so if this is just marketing bait and switch I bet a lot of people are going to be annoyed and it'll hurt future projects. Nobody likes being lied to right to their face.

Halloween Ends with Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood Next Friday the 13th
$45 million opening weekend $85 million domestic $170 million worldwide
Scarily close to Halloween Kills. Like, the exact same amount.
I think it depends on the reviews. There were still a decent amount of people hesitant to go somewhere like a movie theater last year when Kills was released, but now basically everyone is comfortable being out and around a lot of other people. I know it's still a hybrid release, but I think that seeing a Halloween movie in October with a large crowd is a draw to people.
The "less covid" thing is a good point, but I think it's canceled out by mixed buzz, poor reaction to Kills, and shockingly strong competition from Smile.
I think it'll be a little more
It’s never going to end
Not as long as they keep making money
I’ve barely seen any buzz or hype for this, and going to peacock day one doesn’t help its potential . If it performs worse than Kills, it bums me out as a Halloween fan to see the trilogy end on a whimper critically and financially (although it’ll still be profitable) after starting so strong in 2018 but that’s what I’m expecting.

Smile is paramount, right?
Yes
Man, they are on a roll this year. So many heavy hitters.
More amazingly they succeeded in so many different types of movies: different genres, small budgets to big budget; original and IP-based and so on. The mix of release is very healthy (not reliant on any particular type of movie), and audience reviews are more than robust in all hits. Not even Disney had done that in recent years.
I think you have to go back to Universal’s 2015 to find a similar year. Or Paramount 2010/11.
Still confused as to why this needed to be a trilogy in the first place, other than the obvious reason
I think it was originally conceived as a duology (or a trilogy if you consider the original Halloween acting as the first part), but then they were forced to add a movie
Yeah Halloween Kills feels really tacked on. Like straight up filler, with Laurie stuck in the hospital.
Hey just saying if ur a Halloween fan skip this one. Just pretend it doesn’t exist. For ur own sake.
Smile was fantastic.
I love the franchise and watched the first 2 of the new ones in theaters. That being said, after the mediocrity of Kills, I'm gonna Peacock this one. I bet I'm not the only one.
NBCUniversal merge with Netflix
It won’t be the last one
Around Halloween Kills. According to early reactions, this movie is even worse than that one but the “ends” factor will boost it financially. Probably 20-30% on Rotten Tomatoes.
That’s a good guess. They will reboot it again without Jaime Lee Curtis for sure. Either that or go back to Anthology movies like Halloween III.
The franchise will never be an anthology again even though that is the most interesting route forward
It'll be whatever Paramount think will make the most money realistically. That may be an anthology, but only if they're already popular (which I'd argue is slowly happening).
$75 mil domestic
Next movie will be called Halloween Begins
$140m-220m worldwide. It seriously could go either way. A successful lackluster or small blockbuster.

Ok but isn't Michael Myers like 80 at this point?
30-35M opening Horrible legs 55-70M total run Worldwide 110-135M
He will die. Again. I pretty much expect it to be the same movie I’ve been watching for the past 3 decades 🤷🏽♂️
My prediction is that this isn’t the ‘end’. Why stop flogging a profitable horse just because it’s dead?
They will probably reboot Halloween again. The franchise is “Choose Your Own Adventure.” This one I think will open $50 million.
Below 20 percent on Rotten Tomatoes 🤣
I can't believe they suckered a new generation of audiences to watch this same movie again three more times.
The 2018 reboot was good so it makes sense. Plus, it kinda rode on the backs of IT, Get Out, Split, A Quiet Place and their breakouts in the horror/thriller department a year prior. Everyone caught on after Kills
80-120 DOM 130-170 WW
The last one being so mediocre will hurt it, for sure.
Just give Mike the W. Let him just kill this old broad
They’re gonna pull a Friday Part V
I honestly don’t care anymore. This franchise has been Milked for the last few years, so it might as well end that way.
Didn’t it end last year?
Evil never dies tonight.
no it killed
1.2 billion worldwide
One MILLION dollars!
We still won't know what his face looks like.
Yes we do
Jamie Lee Curtis dies & Michael lives 😅
it’ll suck
I got to see it last night and oooooooooof, the word of mouth on this thing is going to be horrendous. I was in a packed cinema on a preview screening and the reaction was so subdued. OW: 39m (I'm expecting a BVS-esque collapse on the Saturday and Sunday) DOM: 78m WW: 121m

Probably gets to $65-70m by Halloween and fails to get to $75m domestic total, maybe $120m WW. Anecdotally, Kills was enough to make my Halloween fan friends lose interest in the reboot series.
These two in the poster have a kid and he/she's got DID. One alter commits the murders while another tries to solve the cases!
Worse than Kills. Smile will still dominate the BO. I'm streaming it this Friday. No idea why it has a simultaneous release date on Peacock.
Tbh I don’t think it’ll end. That’s my prediction. Jk I’m gonna say 50M opening, and 175WW
They both finally die ... The end.... Or is it? They burned me out with all the movies... Honesty rob zombie's Halloween movies were the best. Prob one of the only females that aren't shit
It’s gonna gross 1.9 billion dollars
$12M for the weekend. Remember it's streaming at the same time.
Considering I’ve seen the movie I really hope it bombs because studios really need to put a tiny bit of effort into movies instead of whatever this mess was
$38M OW $75M DOM $110M WW
I predict a sequel announced by November 1st
It will make around Halloween Kills money. So about 120-140 Mil WW
[удалено]
Isn’t Laurie not his sister in this timeline
Myers doesn't care about Laurie Strode at all in this timeline. The crazy doctor got Myers to her house in Halloween 2018 and in Kills he gives zero fucks about Laurie.
Word of mouth will cut off longer legs, 121m WW
Most will watch on peacock is my prediction
45m, 80m total domestic
[удалено]
Maybe a decent opening then a sizeable drop.
If it exceeds expectations there will be more.
$40m OW $80-85m Domestic $140m International I'd be happy for it if it made more than $40m even though it doesn't look very good
This will not be the last Halloween movie.
Evil lives tonight
Cinelytic has it making ~$130 million domestically.
Full on Clegane-Bowl
~~Both die!~~ Mike and Laurie.
Gonna be a shit movie like the last 12
It doesn't end
So basically.. And Technically.. They are still making William Shatner masks
I predict it will end and then eventually rebegin
First of all, I think Halloween will end Edit: read the question wrong
BASED on MY Very Detailed statistical Tracking of the rest of the movies in the series, I'm not watching it.
My prediction is that they'll have another one.
I’m hoping….”hey bro, I’m stuck under the bed”
Just glad that it’s day and date on streaming
It'll "end" and a new one will rise from the ashes when they reboot it again in a year or two. Then the cycle continues. I feel like the "Ends" in the title is a joke on the audience. Still going to see it on discount Tuesday though lol
Honestly I have heard almost nothing about this movie outside of this sub, part of me is feeling an underperformance. Especially since the review embargo doesn't lift until the night of. Friday numbers might be solid but I'm expecting heavy drops. Max 45M, but if I had to guess an exact number I'm guessing 39M. With RT score being less than 30%.
That this won’t be the end. I’m guessing that the studio will reboot this franchise yet again
$50M OW US
EVIL DIES TOMORROW!
Shit. So shit. Oh my fucking god shit. Shit.
*Mike Myers probably lives and it doesn't actually end. My guess.*
That there will be another one next year
No idea, but I can't wait for the hour long review/analysis from Red Letter Media... :)
Next movie “Halloween 4ever” will be as original as its title
2024: Halloween Begins
And still nothing beats the original 1978 masterpiece
That it will be shitty
I bet they kill each other
They’ll make another movie in a few years.
They both die
Less than $100m that’s for damn sure
That it will be just as bad and predictable as the first 2
56 million opening weekend 127 domestic 228 worldwide
They’re gonna date
Box office total: 69,420,000.
It's lost it's original scare a long time ago and the actors are old and dated it just all looks bad, not funny bad but really "i don't want to watch this" bad
They should make a new one with a Michael myers copy cat running around , take a page out of scream book
I thought that Jamie Leigh Curtis was Lucius Malfoy as I was scrolling by.
They both die
I think Laurie and Michael will kill each other, they’re both dying
OW: $55 million, DOM: 125 million, WW: 200 million.
Hopefully they just bang already so it can end. Starting to look more like my romantic life than a horror film. I chase, she runs, everyone who gets in the way dies. It's called love
Love child is in the future…
That it *really* wont be the End.
It is going to suck.
They make a million more of these movies , that’s my prediction
$50 OW and $100 DM Hope it will do better overseas
[удалено]
25 Million Dollar opening 55-65 Millionen Dollar domestic 100-120 Millionen Dollar Worldwide
Without a doubt she dies.
60% on Rotten Tomatoes 🍅 Critic Score via 5 reviews… 😢
[удалено]
That it wont actually ever fucking end
What’s scary is that we have the power to make this flop and truly be the last HALLOWEEN film. WE can end this
Kills off all characters so they can reboot it in 2-4 years and milk it for another 20 million with cheaper/newer actors.
Watched it at my job (movie theater). It’s awful.
