Which film is expected to rule the box office this Halloween weekend?
3. Bugonia
Since Halloween falls on a Friday, major studios are not releasing any big new movies this weekend. Bugonia is reportedly the major release that will expand to more screens. However, it is expected to earn between $1 and $5 million at the domestic box office.
Both films were released this past weekend. The Japanese movie debuted at #1 with a $18 million opening weekend collection and is doing well at the North American box office, but the collection will fall below $10 million, as it is expected to on its second weekend. Regretting You opened with a $13.7 million collection and will also decline on its second weekend.
1. Black Phone 2
The Black Phone sequel is the only film with a good chance to enjoy a boost at the box office over the Halloween weekend. It is also dwindling in uncertainties as this will be the movie’s third three-day weekend. As per the trend, Black Phone 2 can emerge at the top this Halloween weekend. It has raked in $83.1 million worldwide.
Re-releases that scream attention!
Even though 2025 has been splendid for horror films, with hits including Sinners, The Conjuring: Last Rites, and 28 Years Later, this Halloween will be one of the worst, and not in a good way. Popular movies have been and will be re-released on Halloween, which will give the audience some options. The re-releases include Back to the Future and the Twilight Saga movies.
In conclusion, The Black Phone 2 is the only film expected to take the top spot this weekend. The box office turnout will be disappointing this year.
