Fittingly, Universal’s holdover horror pic Ouija topped the Halloween box office chart after narrowly beating Jake Gyllenhaal’s new indie crime-thriller Nightcrawler Friday with $3.5 million from 2,899 North American theaters.
Most believe Nightcrawler, earning an estimated $3.2 million Friday from 2,766 locations, will pull ahead and win the weekend with an $11 million-$12 million debut.
