Update, writethru: Horror ruled at the global and international box office again this session with Universal/Blumhouse’s Halloween Ends bowing to 17.2M in 77 overseas markets for a 58.4M worldwide launch. Last week’s champ, Paramount’s Smile, put in another scary strong performance, dropping just 16 with 16.3M in 61 markets, to beam at a running offshore total of 66.4M and 137.6M global. The latter had crossed 100M worldwide on Tuesday.
