The top three films remained unchanged from the previous week. All new wide-releases were largely ignored by trick-or-treating moviegoers.
Bradley Cooper’s chef drama “Burnt” ($5 million) and Sandra Bullock’s political satire “Our Brand Is Crisis” ($3.2 million) both flopped, as did the horror comedy “Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse” ($1.8 million). In its nationwide expansion, the CBS News docudrama “Truth” fell flat, too, earning just $876,000.
