The Scariest Thing About Halloween 2025 Might Just Be The Box Office

The box office has been an up-and-down ride for years now, but things are about to get downright terrifying.

Halloween is just around the corner and, for a great many folks out there, that means lots of good-natured fright

Because Halloween falls on a Friday this year, Hollywood has decided to release no new big studio movies over the weekend.

On a second weekend, depending on how well they hold and how the openings shake out, those movies can't expect to make any more than $10 million, give or take.

Netflix, meanwhile, will re-release its smash hit "KPop Demon Hunters" over the holiday after topping the box office with it back in August.

For what it's worth, Halloween rarely falls on a Friday and, when it does, it's not exactly a barn burner at the box office. The last time it happened was in 2014.

"Bugonia" hits select theaters on October 24, 2025, before expanding nationwide.

More likely, we need to brace for one of 2025's worst box office weekends overall.
