Fox’s ‘Martian’ Spooks Box-Office Newcomers

Los Angeles Times: Potential moviegoers found their treats largely outside of theaters this weekend as new releases “Burnt” with Bradley Cooper, “Our Brand Is Crisis” with Sandra Bullock and “Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse” all suffered poor ticket sales and the domestic box office recorded its worst Halloween weekend in 16 years. Holdovers nabbed the top four spots. “The Martian,” directed by Ridley Scott and starring Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain, sat atop the box office again in its fifth weekend.
