UPDATE SATURDAY AM: Refresh for more analysis and chart … The lowest October in 27 years is coming to a close with the lowest weekend of the year at around $49M no thanks to Halloween falling on a Friday, but the horror doesn’t stop there: Anyone expected a boost for business on Saturday has to deal with the final World Series game between LA Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays.

Comscore reported earlier this week that October was coming in at $440M which is the lowest October has ever been since 1998 which did $455.5M. The biggest October ever belongs to 2018 which did $832.8M — there were three tentpoles that month with Venom , A Star Is Born and Halloween which combined did some $481M for the month alone. Last October brought in $478M, this past month being -8% off from that.
