No matter how you look at the numbers, “Halloween Ends” had a good opening weekend.

This week’s new entertainment releases include albums from The 1975 and Red Hot Chili Peppers, some sort of conclusion to the Michael Myers saga with the arrival of the horror thriller “Halloween Ends” and a new TV spin-off from the “Supernatural” franchise.”.

“Halloween Kills” may be available to watch at home, but the latest installment in the Michael Myers saga is making a killing at the North American box office in its first weekend in theaters.

This week’s new entertainment releases include a Christmas album from Norah Jones and the return of "Succession,” with the wealthy, dysfunctional Roy family up to more power-grab shenanigans.

The Venice International Film Festival will kick off its 78th edition in September with the premiere of Pedro Almodóvar’s film “Madres Paralelas.”.
