#BOXOFFICE: “HALLOWEEN ENDS” HAS A STRONG START
HALLOWEEN ENDS nabs the #1 spot at the Box Office in its opening weekend for Universal Pictures, taking $43.4 million from 3,901 theatres. Despite reviews being less than stellar at 39% on the Tomatometer, this conclusion to David Gordon Green‘s Trilogy still has that appeal to Moviegoers. Best opening ever for the Halloween Franchise though, still goes to 2018’s Halloween which opened with $76 million in North America.
In second is SMILE, dethroned after a two week reign with $12 million from 3,612 theatres, a total $70 million over three weekends for Paramount Pictures.
Third goes to LYLE, LYLE CROCODILE with $7.2 million from 4,350 theatres for Sony Pictures. Over two weekends it has grossed $22.6 million.

SMILE continues to bring joy to Horror fans at the Box Office, taking the #1 spot yet again with $17.6 million for Paramount Pictures from 3,659 theatres for a total $48 million in its second weekend out. Amazingly, this isn’t far off its first week numbers which means word of mouth is spreading well.
In second is LYLE, LYLE CROCODILE marking Canadian Singer-Songwriter Shawn Mendes‘ acting debut with $11.5 million from 4,350 theatres for Sony Pictures. The Film gets a passing 68% on the Tomatometer.
Third goes to David O. Russell’s AMSTERDAM, debuting with $6.5 million from 3,005 theatres for 20th Century Studios with 33% on the Tomatometer.
THE WOMAN KING is in fourth with $5.3 million for a total $54.1 million for Sony Pictures in its fourth weekend out.
Rounding-out the Top Five is DON’T WORRY DARLING with $3.4 million for Warner Bros. with $38.4 million.
#BOXOFFICE: “SMILE” GIGGLES ITS WAY TO THE TOP IN OPENING
SMILE giggles its way to #1 spot in its debut, taking $22 million from 3,645 theatres for Paramount Pictures. This R-rated Horror starring Sosie Bacon, daughter of Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, gets 74% on the Tomatometer from Critics.
Second is DON’T WORRY DARLING with $7.3 million from 4,121 theatres, bringing its total to $32.8 million for Warner Bros. over two weekends.
THE WOMAN KING is in third with $7 million, a tally of $46.1 million now over three weekends for Sony Pictures.
BROS debuts in fourth with $4.8 million from 3,350 theatres for Universal Pictures. The first-ever major studio LGBTQ+ Rom-Com gets a stellar 95% on the Tomatometer, getting from tons of positive word of mouth also coming out of its TIFF ’22 Premiere.
Capping-off the Top Five is the Avatar re-release with $4.6 million, taking its two week total to $18.5 million for 20th Century Studios.
#BOXOFFICE: “DON’T WORRY DARLING” IS AT EASE ON-TOP
DON’T WORRY DARLING overcomes controversy to take top spot at the Box Office in its opening weekend with $19.2 million from 4,113 theatres for Warner Bros. Despite a score of 36% from Critics on the Tomatometer, Moviegoers could not resisit the allure of Harry Styles and Florence Pugh.
In second is last week’s topper, THE WOMAN KING with $11.6 million for Sony Pictures from 3,765 theatres, a total $36.2 million over two weeks in North America.
The re-release of AVATAR is third and takes $10 million for 20th Century Studios, playing at 1,800 theatres. It’s total theatrical run comes to $770.5 million.
Fourth is BARBARIAN with $4.8 million from 2,340 theatres for 20th Century Studios, a three week gross of $28.4 million.

#TIFF22: DAY TWO SIGHTINGS
It was an incredibly star-studded second day of TIFF ’22 with various Premieres kicking-off around the City ahead of what will be a busy weekend with mega-watt power at the Festival. See who spotted around town premiering their Films and doing their rounds!
We started out day early with an appearance on CP24 Breakfast with Sonia Mangat! Sbe actually has a Short Film premering at the Festival! So amazing! Thanks to those who tuned-in and sent their supportive messages!
THE WOMAN KING
Such an honour being invited to this event in celebration of Gina Prince-Blythewood‘s film. The Cast really brought home the message of the importance of supporting this black female-led Action Film starring Viola Davis, on its opening weekend, at the #TakeUpSpace event presented by Twitter at Mademoiselle.

While we’re expecting to see more of the Cast tomorrow, how cool is this moment between Comedy icons Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow? Rogen is here for THE FABELMANS and reunited with his Knocked Up collaborator Apatow at this Premiere for BROS. So happy we met Joel Kim-Booster, who was seen this past Summer in FIRE ISLAND!
It’s 3 AM, time for bed and yet another early rise tomorrow! We were a little slow to start and hoping to get into our rhythm finally on Day Three. I know this sounds a little absurd since we had so many sightings but trust me, this even is a little off our usual pace. See you again in a few hours!
