Halloween, The World Series, no kiddie film with any traction, no fresh horror that gets attention, no thrillers or comic book releases and “Wicked” is waiting until Thanksgiving.

That makes for a very empty cineplex on the first weekend of November. This may turn out to be the lowest cineplex turnout of the year

The latest weeper from the Colleen Hoover romance novelverse, “Regretting You,” won the weekend with an $8.1 million finish.

“Black Phone 2” staggered in at the $8.0 million mark. With the anime “Chainsaw Man” ($6 million, 3rd place) still around, the new release “Bugonia” had to content Focus Features with a fourth place finish ($4.8 million), thanks to Yorgos Lanthimos and his muse Emma Stone having their following. Mixed to positive reviews for that one, which pretty much goes off the rails with a blundering finale.

“Chainsaw Man,” which is fading fast, is closing in on the $30 million mark in what has proven to be an anime addled fall.

Netflix pushing “KPop Demon Hunters” ($3.4 mllion) back onto screens apparently wasn’t good enough (Netflix conceals box office figures, the wanks) to crack the top five, as the re-release “Back to the Future” ($4.7 million) grabbed that. And for the Love of RPatts another “Twilight” is back in theaters, but barely cleared the $590k mark.

“Deliver Me from Nowhere,” the Springsteen bio pic, came in sixth $3.8 million, falling off some 60% and out of the top five sixth, behind the ancient “Back to the Future.”

“Tron: Ares” added $2.8 and may up reaching $80 million by the time it loses its screens. That’s still $100 million less than its production budget.

“Bugonia,” sliding into wide (ish) release, the small-distrubitor Euro animation “Stitch Head” ($2.1), came in eighth. The self-described “Epic,” “Baahubli” ($837k) from India did not chase “Good Fortune” $1.4, 9th) or “One Battle After Another” ($1.15, 10th) from the top ten.

The best “newish” pictures in theaters right now are “The Mastermind,” “One Battle After Another,” “Roofman,” and “Truth & Treason.” And “Springsteen” isn’t bad. Go see something. You’ll have your pick of seats.
