In the film, which was in first place when it debuted two weeks ago — but slipped to third last Friday –Ethan Hawke reprises his role as serial killer, “The Grabber.”
“Last Halloween, there were probably 15 people that came to our house trick-or-treating dressed as the Grabber,” Hawke told USA Today.
“Bugonia” took second on its opener yesterday, with sales of $1.81 million.
The sci-fi black comedy centers around a pair of conspiracy theorists who kidnap a CEO, played by Emma Stone, because they believe she’s an alien on a mission to destroy the planet.
The Post called the movie “a zany, comic, icky, smelly thriller about the deadly cocktail of loneliness and web browsing,” and its star, Stone, “predictably fantastic.”
Stone, who shaved her head for the role, told People how she felt that day on set.
“It was a year and a half I knew that I was going to be shaving my head, and then the day of … I just started kind of panicking about that,” she explained.
In third was “Back to the Future,” which returned to theaters for its 40th anniversary, and earned $1.56 million.
Its star, Michael J. Fox, told Empire why the movie still resonates.
“We live in a bully culture right now. We have bullies everywhere. … In this movie, Biff is a bully. Time is a bully. For me personally, Parkinson’s is a bully,” Fox, whose memoir, “Future Boy,” was released last month, told the outlet.
And it’s all about how you stand up to them and the resolve that you take into the fight with them … I think a lot of people are responding to the movie because it strikes chords they wouldn’t otherwise recognize.”
“Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc,” which was in first place last Friday, its opener, fell to fourth, with $1.3 million in revenue.
In fifth was the romantic drama “Regretting You,” which moved down three notches, with a $1.21 million take.
