WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: The Martian rockets to the top of the chart with 55MM, the second-biggest October debut after Gravity (which along with Interstellar, was the obvious release model here). The film also earned n "A" Cinemascore, so this may replicate the leggy performance of the Sandra Bullock vehicle.  The Martian is Ridley Scott's bigegst debut, and Matt Damon's second-biggest (after The Bourne Ultimatum, which is particularly good news for Damon, who has not struck gold since the his turn as Bourne ended (likely the reason he's returning to that franchise).  Hotel Transylvania 2 places with 33MM on a 32 percent drop, respectable for a sequel featuring Adam Sandler.  Sicario's wide expansion shows with 12MM; it's nicely positioned for awards season and looks profitable against a 30MM budget, so the issue becomesw hether the studio tries to push a gritty R-rated pic onto even more screens next weekend.  The Intern takes the fourth slot with 11.6MM on a 35 percent drop that's faily leggy, tho the pic had no real comedy competition.  Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials rounds out the Top Five with 7.6MM; this one is dropping much faster than the original, but should be profiting already based on strong performances in overseas markets.  Below the fold, Everest took a big hit from The Walk's IMAX debut, and the latter isn't perfoming as strongly as the mountain pic did.
