The North American box office faced a slump this weekend as Halloween festivities drew people away from theaters. The Elizabeth Holmes documentary “You Can See Everything” led ticket sales, just edging out the DC Studios movie “Clayface.” Studio estimates on Sunday suggested total earnings might not surpass $63 million, marking it as the third lowest weekend of the year. “You Can See Everything” earned $10.6 million from 2,655 locations in its third weekend. “Clayface” trailed by only $200,684. Laika’s animated film “Wildwood” claimed third place with $7.5 million. Despite the dip, the domestic box office remains up over 17% from last year.

From salmonberry harvests to traditional tattoos, Native American culture is spotlighted in November
November marks the start of National Native American Heritage Month. It's a time to celebrate the diverse histories and cultures of hundreds of tribal communities across the U.S. In Alaska, a family carries on a tradition of harvesting salmonberries even after a devastating typhoon. In North Carolina, a group of Indigenous girls convinced tribal lawmakers to grant rights to a river. And in Oklahoma, a tattoo artist is working to revitalize ancestral markings. U.S. presidents have issued proclamations for decades honoring Native peoples in the month that coincides with the traditional harvest season.
A judge has ordered the federal government to pull three taxpayer-funded Trump administration ads from television, social media and elsewhere that she says appear to have been made for political or propaganda purposes. U.S. District Judge Jennifer L. Rochon in New York on Friday sided with a coalition, including the nonpartisan watchdog Common Cause, in ordering that the government take down advertisements, including one that trumpets the president’s claim that every American will get $5,000 if Republicans keep control of the House and Senate in the midterm election. She also ordered the removal of an ad claiming every Democrat voted against no tax on tips and a third ad decrying the cost of socialism.

Lawyers for the BBC and Donald Trump are in court arguing over whether former special counsel Jack Smith should be deposed in Trump’s $10 billion defamation case against the British broadcaster. Trump strongly opposes the possibility. The parties are also expected to address when Trump will appear for his own deposition. The BBC asked the judge to compel Trump to appear after he canceled an agreed date, they said, citing “matters of national importance.” Trump filed his lawsuit against the BBC last December, accusing the broadcaster of defaming him in a documentary. The BBC apologized over the way the documentary was edited but denies it defamed Trump.
