Goosebumps, a horror-comedy based on the children’s book series and starring Jack Black, is the new domestic champ. The film grossed $23 million, stealing the top spot from the space epic The Martian, which, in its third week, grossed $21.5 million and beat two new titles that were actually harboring higher expectations and were helmed by two directors with major pedigrees: Steven Spielberg’s cold war thriller Bridge of Spies and Guillermo del Toro’s Gothic love story Crimson Peak, which took respectively $15.4 million and $12.9 million.

The biggest surprise, though, comes from overseas, where Ant-Man, a movie that has been around since mid-July and did not generate much excitement when it had its debut, this week grossed $43 million, for a worldwide total of $454 million. Once again it’s the China effect: the film’s debut after three months in the world’s second and fastest growing market. Reaching the target of half a billion dollars is now more than likely. Meantime the global winner was once again Ridley Scott’s The Martian, which added $37 million to its international bounty and now enjoys a global cumulative of $320 million. UK and Korea have been its biggest markets, at $27 and $21 million respectively. And with China still to open, the $400 million mark looks like a certainty and Scott could now set his aims even higher.

Rounding up the top five domestically was another Sony’s family movie, Hotel Transylvania 2, which now has a domestic total of $136 million and stands at a global total twice that amount. Pan, on the other hand, took only $5 million on its second domestic outing, while overseas it was just $14 million for a global total – so far – of $72 million. Recovering the $165 million apparently spent to produce the prequel to Peter Pan’s story seems now like an impossible mission and few believe that the film can be saved by China alone, where the number one movie was once again the local comedy Goodbye Mr. Loser

Another disappointment is Robert Zemeckis’ The Walk, which on its second weekend of wide release got just $1.2 million. Internationally the reaction has also been mostly tepid, with a global total now of close to $27 million. Not the numbers Sony and Zemeckis were counting on, but with a production cost just above $35 million, this movie will not enter into the history of movie flops.
