The newest sequel version to 'Halloween' was originally tracking to make somewhere around $50M-$70M but now is expected to make even more, around $80M this weekend. It may tie or even beat the October box office champion - this year's 'Venom', which brought in $80.255M opening weekend two weeks back.
'Venom' and 'A Star is Born' are now both projected to make around $17M this weekend, so they'll be vying for the second spot. Rounding up the top five in predictions is 'Goosebumps 2', which is expected to make $9.7M this weekend.
And in the fifth spot is 'First Man', bringing in another $8M for a total of $28.84M in ten days (thus making it a proper bomb, so good luck with the awards chances there, Chazelle).
