Hello and Good Afternoon! We are entering into the middle of October, and I have quite a bit of posts to upload this week. First, we need to look at the box office. Halloween Ends is the new film to push, last week’s topper, Smile down to number two. The latest made $41.3M, which is pretty good, in spite that the film is not getting positive reviews. Smile, meanwhile, is steadily going with $12.4M, grossing $71.2M.
