The R-rated horror film is hitting theaters 40 years after John Carpenter’s iconic original, and includes his input as an executive producer as well as a reimagining of the equally iconic score.
This will put it just above The Conjuring series and right below Paranormal Activity and The Nun for best R-rated horror film openings of all time.
To date, the Halloween franchise has made over $300 million at the North American box office over the course of forty years and ten films.
The horror film also received a standing ovation at the Toronto International Film Festival.
