One thing that does particularly well in October – horror movies. "Halloween Kills" may be available to watch at home, but the latest installment in the Michael Myers saga took in an impressive $50.4 million in its opened weekend in theaters.  The James Bond film "No Time To Die" was second with $24.3 million. Ridley Scott’s medieval bonanza “The Last Duel,” starring Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Adam Driver bombed, making just $4.8 million.  The film cost more than $150 million to make.
