The new horror film “Come Play” was the top-grossing film at the North American box office over Halloween weekend, grossing a tepid $3.1 million, according to industry estimates released Sunday.

The Liam Neeson-starring action film “Honest Thief” — last week’s top-grossing film — was in second place with $1.3 million, Comscore reported.

“The War With Grandpa,” a family comedy starring Robert De Niro and Uma Thurman, took third place with $1 million Friday through Sunday at theaters in the United States and Canada.

In fourth place was Christopher Nolan’s time-bending thriller “Tenet,” which made $885,000 for a 10-week total of $53.8 million, and a worldwide total of $347.1 million.

Fifth place went to the horror thriller “The Empty Man,” which took in $561,000.

A pair of 1993 favorites re-released for Halloween this year took the next two spots, with “Hocus Pocus” pulling in $456,000 and “The Nightmare Before Christmas” grossing $386,000.

Rounding out the top 10 domestic releases, as estimated by Comscore, were “Monsters Inc.” with $232,000, “Spell” ($210,000) and “The New Mutants” ($145,000).

Movie theaters in Los Angeles County remain closed indefinitely, but Orange County has reopened its theaters with limited capacity.
