In a weekend of perfect counterprogramming for Hollywood, the comic-book movie "Venom" shrugged off bad reviews to shatter the October box-office record with an $80 million debut, while Bradley Cooper's "A Star Is Born" soared to $41.3 million. Venom, with $174.5 million in tickets sold at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to comScore, it was easily the best October weekend ever thanks to two very different films that both outperformed expectations. While "Venom" attracted a younger, majority male audience, crowds for "A Star is Born" were more female, at 66 percent, and older, at 68 percent over 35. Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to comScore. Where available, the latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday also are included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday. 1. "Venom," $80 million ($125.2 million international). 2. "A Star Is Born," $41.3 million ($14 million international). 3. "Smallfoot," $14.9 million ($11.7 million international). 4. "Night School," $12.3 million ($3.4 million international). 5. "The House With a Clock in Its Walls," $7.3 million. 6. "A Simple Favor," $3.4 million ($4.1 million international). 7. "The Nun," $2.6 million ($7.2 million international). 8. "Hell Fest," $2.1 million. 9.
