A new version of the cult horror film Halloween has topped the US box office, with ticket sales expected to reach $30m (£15m) over the four-day weekend. The film, directed by Rob Zombie, has already broken the record for a film released across US Labor Day weekend, according to studio estimates.
Based on the cult 1978 original by John Carpenter, the re-make has taken $26.5m (£13m) since its release on Friday.
Zombie's Halloween, the eighth film in the series, focuses on the grim childhood of psychopath Myers.
However producer Bob Weinstein doubts there will be a follow-up film: "I never say never never... but it would have to be something very, very different," he told Reuters.Last year he told The Hollywood Reporter that Carpenter had backed the latest version of his cult classic.
"He was very supportive, which I thought was very important," said Zombie.
