I didnt even know it was releasing until I saw it somewhere on reddit.

I still feel word of mouth plays a big role in movies and Ends was down right terrible. The movie was not even about Michael and nothing happened throughout the entire movie expect for the last 15 minutes when everything happened.

Overall it felt rushed. I hope they come back to the franchise someday.

These movies are pretty low budget and they just print money. I'd be shocked if they don't have a new one out in the next 5 or 6 years

IIRC the rights are reverting to someone else now. I think we'll see a reboot within a few years as well.

Deadline said this one cost around $30 million which isn't that cheap actually. It doesn't even look like it either

For an established franchise blockbuster, it is still relatively cheap. $30 million isn't a huge investment for a big studio like Universal and it is still a big IP franchise that is almost certainly going to pull in 100 million worldwide and draw some pretty substantial traffic to their streaming service.

When they inevitably reboot the series, they're not going to have to pay Jamie Lee Curtis so it should be a little lower budget.

What can you get from a Halloween movie without Jamie Lee Curtis that you wouldn't get from any movie about a spooky masked murderer killing random people? Like at least Friday the 13th and Elm Street are schlocky enough to have momentum for a 'franchise'.
