Time quietly moved into the end of October. "Step Up" failed to remain the North American box office champion for the week of October 24-30, ranking second with a gross of $21.94 million, and its total box office surpassed $58.52 million; the newly released parody comedy "Scary Movie 3" topped the list with $50.52 million, continuing the series' style of spoofing popular hits like the American version of "The Ring," "The Matrix Reloaded," "The Lord of the Rings," "Harry Potter" series, and others.
In the youth demographic, the sensational Wang Yang and his movies could not escape parody, with last year's hits "District 9" and "The Hangover" becoming the material for the silver screen, truly giving the fans a good laugh.
The new weekend arrived alongside Halloween's eve on October 31, filled with either silly or thrilling atmosphere, but in the bustling cinemas, only one new film was released on a large scale, the fiery R-rated horror film "Saw," which landed in 2,467 theaters.
