Army of Thieves did enough to beat out Hypnotic, the big new Halloween release from last week. The prequel to Army of the Dead scored relatively well with critics but clearly did enough globally to top the top 10s.

Army of the Dead, a summer release notably saw a big rise in popularity this week thanks to Army of Thieves. No doubt many people either dove back into Army of the Dead after or before watching the prequel.
