this is amazing considering that the film was released simultaneously in theaters and on Peacock

That might be a function of the fact that there aren’t that many paid Peacock users

Nobody have Peacock

Ha, I was gonna say that. No one has Peacock. So if it released on HBO or some other service. Perhaps the box office numbers would be down. But in this case. Since most don’t have Peacock. That would account for such a high debut at the box office.

I wonder if the fact that lots of people still never heard of the peacock or only have the the free version. Last one was a watchable movie for a rainy afternoon. Didn't like they ignored Halloween II. Will see this one since I get it free with Comcast.

My friends and I have Peacock, but we had to see Michael Myers on the big screen. So worth it. We are going again today to watch it.
