That Was That: Canadian, North American & UK Box Office October 30, 2009 Weekend

Michael Jackson's This Is It hits it big last weekend topping the Canadian, North American and UK box office. In fact, in Canada it was the only release of the week that even hit the Top 20. But seeing as it was Halloween weekend, spooky films like Paranormal Activity, Halloween II (released back in August!) and Saw VI did some damage all landing in the Canadian top 5.
