Inferno, the third entry in Ron Howard's Da Vinci Code film series, bombed at the domestic box office, earning an estimated $15 million during its opening weekend.
The film, which stars Tom Hanks and Felicity Jones, was expected to claim the top spot at the box office with somewhere between $20 million to $30 million during its opening weekend, THR reports. However, it was eclipsed by Tyler Perry's Boo! A Madea Halloween, which placed first with a second-weekend haul of $16.7 million.
Fortunately for Sony, Inferno fared much better overseas, having now earned approximately $132.9 million since its international debut earlier this month. It topped the charts during its opening weekend in China with $13.3 million.

Meanwhile, Ouija: Origin of Evil placed fifth during its second weekend in theaters with $7.1 million, coming in just behind Jack Reacher: Never Go Back and The Accountant, which placed third and fourth with $9.6 million and $8.5 million, respectively.
