Preferring to disguise themselves than to go to the cinema, the public shunned the new horrific releases. Denis Villeneuve's monumental tale retained its top spot with a total of $ 15.5 million in revenue.

This Halloween weekend, American theaters were deserted, as analysts expected, by their regulars too happy to be able to celebrate, without restriction for the first time in two years, on October 31.

New releases, however horrific in nature, like

Edgar Wright's

“giallo” time machine in Sixties London

Last Night In Soho

and

Scott Cooper's

closed-door

Antlers

did not find their audience.

The two films are battling for a modest sixth place in the charts with estimated revenue reaching $ 4.2 million.

A disappointment for Last Night In Soho.

The feminist ghost story with Anya Taylor-Joy from

The Lady's Game

with Licked Images has received intense promotion and rather laudatory reviews across the Atlantic.

The box office master remained

Dune

. Denis Villeneuve's monumental adaptation of Frank Herbert's classic retains its dominant position and raises $ 15.5 million in additional revenue. In two weeks of operation, the science fiction film starring Timothée Chalamet, and of which Warner commissioned the second part, totaled $ 69.4 million in the United States. The drop in attendance between the two weekends is 62%. An honorable figure given the competition for the Halloween festivities and knowing that

Dune

is also available on the Warner HBO Max platform.

The aptly named

Halloween Kills

, where the psychopath Michael Myers is once again cracking down on Jamie Lee Curtis and his descendants, takes second place on the podium with 8.5 million receipts, three weeks after its hybrid release in theaters and on the Peacock platform for a total of $ 85.6 million.

Dying Can Wait,

which marks Daniel Craig's last mission, amassed 7.8 million and passed the threshold of 133 million in revenue.

The surprise came from occupying fourth place at the box office.

The Japanese cartoon

My Hero Academia: World Heroes Mission

collects 6 million for only 1602 screens.

For comparison,

Last Night In Soho

had 3016. On the fifth rung slips

with 5.7 million dollars.

The French Dispatch,

where Timothée Chalamet is also displayed, was able to be deployed in additional theaters, going from 52 screens to 788. The story shot in Angoulême collected 2.8 million dollars.

Receipts mixed compared to the dynamic 1.4 million obtained with much fewer theaters last week.
