After 40 years and 11 films, it looks like this year’s Halloween staring series mainstay Jamie Lee Curtis is set to have the biggest opening weekend in the franchise’s long history at the box office.
Per Variety, Halloween is tracking to have a huge opening, with low estimates expecting it to bring in approximately $45 million over a three-day period, though some experts expect it could exceed $55 million over its opening weekend. Rob Zombie’s 2007 remake of Halloween holds the previous opening record at just over $26 million.
