Jamie Lee Curtis smashes box office records, tweets the perfect reaction
When you're really proud of something, sometimes you've just gotta shout about it.
That's exactly what Jamie Lee Curtis rightfully did when her movie smashed three, yes THREE, box office records.
Per Variety, Halloween earned $77.5 million (£59.49 million) in its opening weekend and "obliterated the franchise record opening of $26 million" (£19.9 million).
Not only that, Variety reports that Halloween is "the best horror opening with a female lead," in addition to Curtis' "biggest opening to date," as well as the "biggest debut ever for a female lead over 55 years old."
Curtis shared the news in a tweet, writing that she's "going for one BOAST post."
"Biggest horror movie opening with a female lead. Biggest movie opening with a female lead over 55. Second biggest October movie opening ever. Biggest Halloween opening ever #womengetthingsdone," she continued.
