YOUR WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Halloween spirits guided horror outing Ouija to the top spot at multiplexes this weekend, while Keanu Reeves' actioner John Wick bowed at #2. No other debuts made a mark, but we note that the Bill Murray comedy St. Vincent jumped #15-6 in its first week of wide release.

2. John Wick (Lionsgate) $14.1m 2,589/$5,465 avg. (debut)
