OCTOBER WILL END ON QUIETER NOTE THAN WE'VE SEEN ALL MONTH. AFTER OVER-PERFORMING ARRIVALS LIKE "VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE," "NO TIME TO DIE," "HALLOWEEN KILLS" & "DUNE," THIS WEEKEND WILL BRING TWO LOWER PROFILE TITLES. NEITHER FOCUS FEATURES' R RATED PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER "LAST NIGHT IN SOHO" NOR SEARCHLIGHT PICTURES' R RATED HORROR THRILLER "ANTLERS" IS TRACKING WELL AS FIRST CHOICE, BUT BOTH ARE IN KEEPING WITH HALLOWEEN SPIRIT....

HALLOWEEN WEEKEND'S TYPICALLY NOT GREAT FRAME FOR MOVIEGOING, WHICH ACCOUNTS FOR LACK OF EVENT TITLES ON IMMEDIATE HORIZON. UNIVERSAL WAS SMART TO LAUNCH "HALLOWEEN KILLS" 10/15 TO GET JUMP ON PARTYING & TRICK-OR-TREATING THAT MAKES HALLOWEEN, ITSELF, SOFT TIME FOR MOVIEGOING....

"SOHO'S" LOOKING SOMEWHAT BETTER THAN "ANTLERS" ON FIRST CHOICE TRACKING. ITS AVERAGE SCORE IS THREE POINTS BELOW NORM VS. "ANTLERS" BEING FOUR POINTS BELOW NORM. "SOHO" HAS ADVANTAGE WITH -25F, ITS TOP DEMO, WHERE IT'S TWO POINTS BELOW NORM. ALL DEMOS FOR "ANTLERS ARE WELL BELOW NORM....

"SOHO" ALSO HAS ADVANTAGE OF BEING STRONG FIRST CHOICE FOR 17-20 AGE GROUP (ONE POINT OVER NORM). "ANTLERS" IS WEAK WITH ALL AGE GROUPS. SHOULD HELP THAT NEITHER "SOHO" NOR "ANTLERS" IS STREAMING DAY & DATE. THEY'RE BOTH OPENING MODERATELY WIDE -- ABOUT 2,800 LOCATIONS FOR "SOHO" & ABOUT 2,700 THEATRES FOR "ANTLERS." CRITICS DON'T LIKE EITHER PICTURE. ROTTEN TOMATOES: 74% FOR "SOHO" & 69% FOR "ANTLERS." HOLLYWOOD HANDICAPPERS ARE FIGURING AROUND $5M FOR EACH....

WITH BOTH NEWCOMERS LIKELY HEADING FOR SOFT STARTS, "DUNE" SHOULD STAY #1. IT WOUND UP DOING $41M OPENING WEEKEND -- BETTER THAN SUNDAY'S ESTIMATED $40.1M -- BUT SINCE IT'S STREAMING DAY & DATE ON HBO MAX IT COULD SUFFER SEVERE SECOND WEEKEND SLIDE IN AREA OF 70% -- OR COULD SURPRISE WITH HAPPIER HOLD OF AROUND 60%. THAT WOULD PUT IT IN $12-16M RANGE....

WEEKEND OF 11/5-7 WILL RATCHET UP TICKET SALES AS DISNEY/MARVEL'S PG-13 SCI-FI ADVENTURE "ETERNALS" LANDS IN CINEMAS. TRACKING HAS INDICATED POWERHOUSE LAUNCH FOR "ETERNALS" FOR WEEKS. LATEST AVERAGE FIRST CHOICE SCORES ARE FOUR POINTS OVER NORM. STRONGEST DEMOS ARE: -25M & +25M (EACH SIX POINTS OVER NORM). TOP AGE GROUPS: 25-34 (SEVEN POINTS OVER NORM) & 45-54 (FIVE POINTS OVER NORM)....

LAST WEEKEND SAW ARTHOUSE BUSINESS REVIVED BY SEARCHLIGHT PICTURES' R RATED ROMANTIC DRAMEDY "THE FRENCH DISPATCH" FROM DIRECTOR WES ANDERSON ("THE ROYAL TENEBAUMS"). "FRENCH" CAME IN SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN SUNDAY'S $1.3M ESTIMATE WITH $1.349M AT 52 LOCATIONS ($25,939 PER LOCATION). "FRENCH" LOOMS AS LIKELY CHOICE FOR SPECIALTY FILM ADULT AUDIENCE OVER THANKSGIVING....

MAINSTREAM ADULT AUDIENCE MOVIE MAGNET OVER THANKSGIVING WILL BE MGM/BRON'S R RATED CRIME THRILLER "HOUSE OF GUCCI," OPENING 11/24 FROM DIRECTOR RIDLEY SCOTT ("BLADERUNNER"). "GUCCI'S" GOT SOLID STAR POWER TO PACK THEATRES WITH ADULTS IN HOLIDAY MOVIEGOING MODE -- LADY GAGA, ADAM DRIVER, JARED LETO, JEREMY IRONS & AL PACINO. ALREADY SHOWING GOOD AVERAGE DEFINITE INTEREST ON TRACKING (TWO POINTS OVER NORM) FOUR WEEKS OUT....
