In that film (her first) she was paid $8,000 for her role as Laurie Strode and the indie film cost roughly $325,000 to make. Fast forward to the present and the newest incarnation of Halloween pulled in a tidy $77.5 million in its opening. This is the second-biggest October opening weekend, just behind Sony’s Venom, which set the mark just weeks ago at $80.2 million. Not one to toot her own horn, Curtis decided…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”8865″ img_size=”800×500″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text] Sean Bean started the ball rolling. It was his death as Eddard Stark that introduced audiences to the concept that NO ONE was safe in Game of Thrones. Now that he has been absent from the series for over 7 years, the idea of keeping a secret might have been a lost skill. This might explain why he decided to share that there was a cast reunion for Game of Thrones to celebrate the 8th and final season in Belfast.
