A slow weekend at the US box office saw Tyler Perry's Boo 2! A Madea Halloween top the charts, earning $21.7 million at 2,388 North American locations.
The comedy sequel, which Perry also directed and wrote, sees Madea try to save a bunch of teens at a haunted campground.
Other new films – including Geostorm, The Snowman and Only the Brave – did not fare so well, according to Variety.
The Gerard Butler-starring Geostorm entered the box office in second place, but only took $13.3, despite its estimated $100 million budget.
The disaster movie imagines a world where a network of satellites have been designed to control the global climate.
When they start to attack Earth with life-threatening storms, two estranged brothers are tasked with solving the malfunction before a deadly Geostorm can engulf the planet.
