On the slow last weekend before Halloween, it’s the perfectly timed horror movie that reigns supreme. Ouija, the new horror picture based on the board game, brought in a decent $20,006,000 gross for the weekend box office. The new Keanu Reeves action movie, John Wick, was not far behind with a $14,150,000 gross. Also worth noting is the Bill Murray comedy, St. Vincent, which expanded this weekend and jumped all the way from #15 to #6 in the box office. Check the full top 10 below.

Next week is mostly gonna be a throw-away week with the re-release of the original Saw, a quiet thriller Before I Go To Sleep and the bombastic Jake Gyllenhaal crime drama Nightcrawler. None of these new films are opening in anymore than 2,800 theaters so don’t expect a huge change in the box office for Halloween weekend.
