“Geostorm<\/a>,” “Only the Brave<\/a>,” “The Snowman” \u2014 it’s another in a series of terrible box-office weekends. Last year, the same weekend saw three new releases gross a total of $65 million; this year, four new releases totaled $44 million. “Boo 2<\/a>: A Madea Halloween” performed best, but at the lower end of expectations.<\/p>\n

This is a performance that might be expected in January, the\u00a0dumping ground for loser films. But October is the month where we’ve seen\u00a0films like “Gravity,” “Gone Girl,” and “The Martian” thrive.<\/p>\n

Is it a crisis yet? It’s clear there’s still an audience when a September release like “It” can hit $320 million domestic so far. However, it’s clear that even franchise fans are unreliable.<\/p>\n
