## Summary

Halloween Ends, the final film in David Gordon Green’s Halloween trilogy, has become one of Netflix’s ten most-watched films in the United States. Its streaming popularity has returned attention to a controversial conclusion that marked Jamie Lee Curtis’s final appearance as Laurie Strode, despite receiving harsh reviews.

The film earned $105 million worldwide against a reported $20 million budget, including $64 million domestically and $41 million overseas. It opened at number one in the United States, ahead of Smile, but ticket sales fell 80% by its second weekend and it left the top ten within five weeks.
