The Halloween weekend box office was the worst in 31 years, with 'Regretting You' claiming the top spot with $8.1 million, though 'Black Phone 2' is also contending for first place with an estimated $8 million. Overall ticket sales were significantly low at $49.8 million, reflecting a lack of major releases and the holiday's impact on cinema attendance.
