Going down: Weekend movie box office down 38% compared to 2018

 
As happened last weekend, the box office tally tipped upward slightly -- just over 2%.

It’s fitting that Halloween weekend resulted in four horror movies cracking the top 10. Paramount’s R-rated thriller “Smile” took fourth place with $5 million from 3,221 venues, pushing ticket sales to an impressive $92 million. At No. 5, “Halloween Ends” added $3.8 million from 3,419 theaters in its third outing for a domestic tally of $60 million.
