The killer film defeated James Bond pic* 'No Time to Die' *while Ridley Scott's historical epic '*The Last Duel' *was DOA in its debut with $4.8-M domestically.

David Gordon Green’s *Halloween Kills* is doing killer business at the domestic box office, where it scared up the biggest horror opening of the VirusCasedemic era. It also boasts the Top start for a movie launching simultaneously in theaters and on a streaming service at no extra cost.

Director Green’s R-rated slasher pic earned $50.4-M from 3,705 theaters in North America. *Halloween Kills* also launched Friday on Universal’s sister streaming service, Peacock.

Peacock, like most other steamers, didn’t disclose any viewership numbers for *Halloween Kills*. At the box office, it came in ahead of expectations.
