The first made about $79 million worldwide, so I'd say this movie will likely do around the same, or at the very least about $60 million worldwide.
Over on the boxofficemojo forums someone made a joke about this movie making $300 million worldwide. I would love to see that happen because it'd set a new precedent for horror movies.
It appears as if the movie picks up exactly from the first and he starts wreaking havoc, which means he was shot, went to the hospital, started going apeshit and killing people, and then we go to whatever time passes after that night, which is where the thick part of the story occurs.
I'm gonna miss the long hair though.
Well least part of it's in a hospital..I wonder how this will end, cause when the first one ended I kinda thought that was it...he was dead but they Laurie was still in the dark about Mike being her brother and plus they couldn't just stop making halloween movies. As long as they got a good story then I say keep making them but tbh no.5, 6 and 8 were terrible, H20 was ok
I...uh.....kinda sorta know how it may end but you can take it with a grain of salt in case it's not true.
Spoiler:
Michael arrives at the Myer's house in an ambulance and drags Laurie into the house as onlookers believe it's staged. He drags her into the house, ties her up, and pours gasoline all around her as she begs him not to kill her. She tells him she knows he's her brother, and he stops, unties her, and holds out a weapon (I forget what it was) in which she cuts his arm, and he writes the word boo on her hand, like a tattoo.
That's just part of it, I can't remember all of it, but that's supposedly from the script.
I think it's more along the lines of Michael seeing his sister as being the only person that never really judged him outside of his mom. He thinks they are the only two people to ever care for him, which is why in the first movie he was simply trying to reunite with her instead of trying to kill her, like in the original. I'm not sure what the heck he's trying to do in the sequel. It's likely that after she blasted him in the face he's trying to do her in. Zombie said in the commentary that Michael believes she knows that they are related, but has no idea she doesn't know, which is why he brought out the picture and gave it to her.
