Nightcrawler and Ouija topped the North American box office on Halloween weekend, with both films taking $10.9 million.

The weekend takings for crime thriller Nightcrawler, which stars Jake Gyllenhaal as an ambulance-chasing freelance cameraman, were ahead by just $8,700 according to studio estimates.

However, the two films could swap places once the final takings are confirmed.

Horror movie Ouija is based on the board game used by some to try and contact the dead.

The low-budget supernatural horror was last week’s number one and is games company Hasbro’s first venture into the film industry.

Brad Pitt’s World War Two film Fury was in third place with an estimated $9.1 million, while Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike’s thriller Gone Girl was still performing well in fourth place, four weeks after its release.

Director David Fincher’s take on Gillian Flynn’s best-selling book took $8.8 million over the weekend, while animated adventure The Book of Life was in fifth place with $8.3 million.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s thriller End of Watch and Jennifer Lawrence’s horror film House at the End of the Street have tied for top spot at the US box office.

According to early estimates, both films took $13 million each.

They were closely followed by third-placed film, Trouble with the Curve, starring Clint Eastwood and Amy Adams.

But it was another sluggish weekend overall, with revenues – $88 million – down 25% on the same time last year.

“This was a clash of the non-Titans,” said Paul Dergarabedian, analyst for box office tracker Hollywood.com.

“When three films are duking it out for the top spot with only around $13 million, that doesn’t represent a very strong period at the box office.”

British film Dredd had a disappointing opening, going in at number six with $6.3 million.

Perks, Emma Watson’s first film since Harry Potter, took $244,000 but only opened in four cinemas.

The 3D re-release of Finding Nemo was at number four, taking $9.4 million.

Resident Evil: Retribution slipped from the top spot to number five, with $6.7 million.

Other top ten films included The Master and ParaNorman.
