WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Paranormal Activity 3 haunted the cineplex, scaring up 54 million bucks -- the biggest October debut ever and the biggest horror opening ever, with another 26 million overseas, all against a 5 million budget.  Real Steel is a distant second with 11.3 million and a 67.2 million total against a 150 million budget, hoping for breakeven overseas.  The Footloose remake is No. 3  with 10.9 million and a 30.8 million total against a 24 million budget.  The Three Musketeers dubuts in fourth place with 8.8 million against a 90 million budget (that sounds awful, but the overseas sales so far are about 64 million, so this won't be a total disaster financially).  The Ides of March rounds out the Top 5 with 4.9 million and 29 million so far against a 12.5 million budget.  Below the fold, Johnny English Reborn opened at No. 8 with 3.8 million against a 45 million budget -- but this one has already grossed over $100 million overseas.  The Mighty Macs opened in 12th place with a million, which would be considered awful, but it's also the studio's first picture.
