An analysis of the box office performance of Regretting You

As per the outlet, Regretting You has garnered a collection of $8.1 million in the Halloween season, which is the second weekend of the film. This unexpected increase has enabled the film to be ranked #1 in the list, having been screened across 3,424 theaters.

As recorded by Box Office Mojo, the film debuted with a weekend collection of $13,687,530 in its domestic collection. However, by the second weekend, the film had made up to $27.5 million in the United States and Canada. Along with this, it has earned $50 million in its worldwide collection, as reported by Variety.

This weekend, Regretting You experienced a tiny dip in its collection, down to 41%. Most often, we witness that in the debut week, the audience engagement is heightened, and thus it impacts the positivity on its commercial performance. But in this case, the film, despite its slight decrease, has managed to hold its ground.

As per the outlet, it was made with a budget of $30 million. So, looking at its current numbers, the film has certainly managed to garner its budget amount, plus $20 million more. Another important thing to note is that, in its Popcornmeter score, the film scored an impressive rating of 86%. This showcases the audience's enthusiastic engagement with the romantic drama.

In the second position, we have another Mason Thames starrer, Black Phone 2. At the same time, the horror sequel has collected a total of $8 million as Regretting You. So there is a very slight disparity in their earnings this weekend, which is $0.1 million. So we can expect the rankings to change in the near future as well, as their numbers are seemingly subcontiguous.

In this year's Halloween weekend, it seems that the movie theaters have been rather emptier than ever. The ticket sales had reached rock bottom this time, even though these two films are still managing to stand firm. The last time the box office health had declined to this level was back in 1997. According to Comscore, the earnings generated in this spooky weekend have only been up to $43 million.
