“Halloween” stays a cut above the competition in its second week of release, carving out the top spot in Fandango weekend ticket sales. The Jamie Lee Curtis sequel is scaring up 83 out of 100 points on Fandango’s movie buzz index, Fanticipation.
“‘Halloween” is killing it in its second weekend on Fandango,” says Fandango Managing Editor Erik Davis. “The David Gordon Green-directed sequel is unstoppable as fans head out to the cinemas for the Halloween holiday weekend, looking for a second helping of slasher scares.”
