But Halloween II (aka Zombie’s favorite) only made $39.4 million, and Rob Zombie didn’t continue his version of Laurie Strode and Michael Myers’ feud with a threequel.
Despite being made a decade ago, Rob Zombie’s Halloween movies actually had a larger budget than the one that’s currently in theaters.
They were both made with $15 million, but only the first movie ended up making much of a profit, totaling at $80.3 million.
Although given just how different Zombie’s vision was from John Carpenter’s groundbreaking 1978 original, this may have been a positive outcome for the hardcore fandom.
