Box Office

"Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" crawled, slithered and flew its way to the top of the weekend box office with a $62.2 million opening in the U.S. and Canada, according to studio estimates Sunday.

You're a mean one — and you're number one — Mr. Grinch.

The Freddie Mercury biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody" and 20th Century Fox are — for now, at least — champions of the world.

Michael Meyers — or is it Jamie Lee Curtis? — can't be stopped. "Halloween" dominated the North American box office for the second straight weekend, carving up an estimated $32 million in ticket sales.

Forty years after he first appeared in theaters, Michael Myers is still drawing huge audiences for a good scare.

Despite much-talked-about controversy over its omission of the American flag being planted on the moon, the Neil Armstrong film "First Man" settled in at No. 3 at the box office, failing to break through the ongoing tug of war between "Venom" and "A Star is Born." 

In a weekend of perfect counter-programming for Hollywood, the comic-book movie "Venom" shrugged off bad reviews to shatter the October box-office record with an $80 million debut, while Bradley Cooper's "A Star Is Born" soared to $41.3 million.

Audiences showed considerably less interest in Michael Moore's Donald Trump-themed documentary, "Fahrenheit 11/9," than his George W. Bush-era one.

"The Predator" is at the top of the food chain in its first weekend in theaters.

The horror movie "The Nun" has topped the domestic box office in its first weekend, scoring a best for the "Conjuring" franchise and another win for Warner Bros.
