USA box office on 2nd weekend of October 2017-2024

 
Not a good weekend by any measure.

USA box office on the second weekend of October 2024 is down 47% compared to last year when "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour" was the top-grossing movie.   "Terrifier 3" was the top-grossing movie this weekend.

And it's down 50% compared to the 2019 peak when "Joker" ruled the weekend box office.

Variety, 10/13/2024
“Terrifier 3” slashed its way to No. 1 in North America, collecting a stellar $18.3 million from 2,514 theaters in its opening weekend. It’s a huge start for the ultra-gory, independently made, low-budget slasher film about a demonic clown who brutalizes a small town. 
Meanwhile “Joker: Folie á Deux,” which topped the box office last weekend, collapsed in third place with $7.055 million from 4,102 theaters. It could end up in fourth place, behind holdover “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” once the final numbers are tallied on Monday. The off-beat comic book musical, starring Joaquin Phoenix as a reclusive stand-up comedian and part-time clown, suffered a tragic 82% decline in ticket sales from its already-disastrous $37.6 million debut. It ranks as one of the biggest-second weekend drops for the superhero genre, plunging more severely than last year’s misfires of “The Marvels” (78.1%), “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” (69.9%), “Shazam: Fury of the Gods” (69%) and “The Flash” (72.5%).
