What ‘Terminator’ can take from the success of ‘Halloween’

The box office success of the new Halloween is good news for a number of people, even outside of those involved with the movie itself. As the best Halloween horror opening ever and the second-best R-rated horror opening ever, not to mention the second-biggest October opening in box office history, it’s a project that proves that movies with female leads, and leads over 50, can attract sizable audiences — something that should come as a big relief for James Cameron and the people behind next year’s Terminator revival.
