Halloween Ends won the weekend box office with a solid $41.3 million. That was the lowest debut of the new trilogy and might be due to the very mixed word of mouth. 2018’s Halloween opened with $76.2 million and went on to earn $159.3 million domestically. 2021’s Halloween Kills opened with $49.4 million and went on to only earn $92 million domestically.
