Hawaii junior receiver John Ursua hit 1,000 yards receiving for the season exactly with a 2-yard catch on the second play of the second half.

Ursua, who finished with seven catches for 123 yards against the Wolf Pack, entered the week leading the nation in receiving yards and receiving touchdowns and was named a second-team midseason All-American by the Associated Press.

He recorded his sixth 100-yard receiving game and has caught a TD in eight of nine games.

Rolo gets greedy

Hawaii’s first two touchdowns of the game were followed by two aggressive calls by Hawaii coach Nick Rolovich.

UH tried an onside kick on kickoffs after its first two touchdowns and both resulted in Nevada beginning drives in UH territory.

After Cedric Byrd’s 8-yard touchdown reception gave UH a 7-0 lead, UH tried its first onside kick with 7:10 remaining in the first quarter.

Nevada’s Maliek Broady recovered the ball in UH territory and an extra 5 yards were added on Hawaii’s penalty for being offsides.

Nevada used the short field to score its first points on Ramiz Ahmed’s 26-yard field goal with 4:14 remaining in the first quarter.

UH tried it again on the first play of the second quarter and was whistled for two penalties on the play.

An offsides flag was declined and a kick-catch interference penalty was called, giving the Wolf Pack the ball on the UH 48 to start the drive.

UH tried its second onside kick at midfield due to Nevada’s 15-yard face-mask penalty on the UH TD.

The Wolf Pack turned the field position into another field goal.

’Bows finally taketh away

Through eight games coming in, Hawaii had forced only five turnovers on defense and recovered just a single fumble.

UH doubled that fumble total in the first quarter and quadrupled it after the game with three fumble recoveries total.

The first came when Nevada punt returner Romeo Doubs muffed UH’s opening punt.

Hawaii long snapper Noah Borden, hustling down the field, emerged from a large pile with the ball, setting up UH’s opening score three plays later.

UH again scooped up a loose ball, this time on defense, in a big spot late in the first half.

The Wolf Pack were inside the UH 25 with less than two minutes to go when running back Toa Taua was stripped by UH defensive back Manu Hudson-Rasmussen. Penei Pavihi recovered for UH to keep it a one-score game heading into intermission.

Kaleb Fossum, who replaced Doubs as a punt returner, fumbled away a kick inside the Nevada 30 late in the third quarter that was recovered by Khoury Bethley.

Nevada’a defense came to the rescue, forcing a turnover on downs four plays later.

Nevada RB Taua back for more

No Nevada football player had played at Aloha Stadium more recently than freshman running back Toa Taua.

The Wolf Pack’s leading rusher against Hawaii with 126 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries played in the 2018 Polynesian Bowl in January.

A high school football all-star game featuring the top seniors in the country, Taua was named most valuable player after rushing for two second-half touchdowns to lead Team Makai over Team Mauka 31-14.

FULLERTON, Calif. >> Hawaii prepared to meet one of the nation’s best women’s volleyball teams by routing the Big West Conference’s worst Saturday night.

The Rainbow Wahine needed only 75 minutes to dispatch Cal State Fullerton 25-3, 25-14, 25-13 at Titan Gym and remain a half-game behind first-place Cal Poly, ranked 12th nationally. Hawaii (13-6, 9-1) will put its four-match winning streak up against the Mustangs (19-1, 9-0) on Friday night at the Stan Sheriff Center.

The Titans (0-9, 6-15) rank last in the Big West in total kills, kills per set, assists, aces, block solos and total blocks while sharing last place with UC Riverside in hitting percentage. So did next week’s confrontation for first place provide a distraction for the Wahine against the Titans?

“Not at all,” senior setter Faith Ma’afala said. “I think we approach every team the way we would approach it if we were playing Cal Poly, or anybody else. We come into the gym knowing that you respect your opponent, either way, for sure.”

Ma’afala established the tone in Set 1. Using a hard serve with minimal rotation, the Kamehameha graduate served for 17 successive points — including four consecutive aces — and kept the Titans out of system (7 hitting errors) during that 17-0 blitz.

“When you go on a run like that, it’s never just you, it’s everybody,” Ma’afala said. “When you go on a run like that, it’s important to stay disciplined. That’s definitely something our coaches make sure we do. I think we did a great job of being disciplined, understanding that we’re killing it behind the service line so let’s take care of everything else.”

Ma’afala’s decision to rely on the jump-float serve she used Saturday night ended a process of personal trial and error. She finished with a career-high six aces.

“Oh, man, I’ve gone through many serves,” she said. “I started last year jump-serving, then I went back to the serve I did tonight, then I did a stand-flow. For some reason this week, I kind of felt like my jump-float would do a little damage.”

After the Titans scored three straight points to narrow the margin to 17-3, it was senior McKenna Granato’s turn to serve. The Punahou product registered three of her four aces in an 8-0 closing run as the Wahine held the hosts to negative-.154 hitting.

“It’s nice just to come in and have two people serve a set,” said UH coach Robyn Ah Mow-Santos, her team setting a program record with 13 aces in a three-set match.

The Wahine were so dominant that Ah Mow-Santos played mostly reserves in the final two sets. Sophomore defensive specialist Rika Okino entered at 24-14 in Set 2, becoming the last of the 14 players on the travel roster to see the court.

“I think they were pretty focused,” Ah Mow-Santos said about her reserves. “As you can see, we let most of the bench play and their focus was still on the game.”

Fullerton made the starts of the final two sets competitive. The Titans held a 3-2 lead in Set 2 when the Wahine scored four successive points to take control at 6-3; they would lead by as many as 14 in taking a 2-0 lead.

In Set 3, the Titans led 6-2 before another service run by Ma’afala helped the Wahine go ahead 12-6. Ma’afala had two more aces and senior opposite Angel Gaskin four of her seven kills.

Junior hitter McKenna Ross finished with a match-high nine kills with no errors, while Granato added eight kills and four aces while playing just two sets. Hawaii handed the Titans their 15th straight defeat and ran the series record to 40-0.

Sitting below the radar in fourth place, Castle was close to being an afterthought. That is, until Saturday night at Mililani’s John Kauinana Stadium.

The Knights (5-6) advanced to the OIA Division I championship game after their rugged 28-14 semifinal upset victory over No. 7 and previously undefeated Moanalua.

They rode workhorse quarterback Senituli Punivai, who rushed 38 times for 231 yards and three touchdowns.

“This is a big-time (upset),” Castle coach John Hao said. “Nobody expected this. But our Castle kids wanted it. They knew what they were going to accomplish and they did it today.”

The Knights play Waipahu for the OIA D-I crown next week, with a berth in the state tournament on the line.

With 15 seconds to go before halftime, Castle took its first lead. That’s when Cheyden Costa kicked a 39-yard field goal to make it 8-7. Costa booted a 21-yarder earlier and the Knights also got a safety when Moanalua was called for holding in its own end zone.

Defensively, Castle set the tone early by pressuring Moanalua quarterback Nick Au, who was coming off a seven-touchdown passing performance last week in a win over Nanakuli. The Knights, led by the forceful defensive work of David Keanu and Raiden Wong, continued the hassling of Au, who finished with just 162 yards passing and a TD.

“This is like the highest achievement we could get aside from the championship, rallying to beat a team that beat us (40-36) earlier in the season,” said Wong, who, like Keanu, was in on two sacks. “We balled out together as brothers.”

Still, Castle had to work hard at the end to hold off hard-charging Na Menehune. Trailing 21-7, Rudy Kealohi stepped in for a shaken-up Au and scored up the middle on a 16-yard keeper to make it 21-14.

But Punivai got it back finishing off a time-consuming final drive of the night and putting the game in the bag with a 16-yard TD run.

Castle didn’t find the end zone until its second possession of the second half, driving 68 yards with more of the running game and the offensive line blasting forward. Punivai capped the march off with a 4-yard sweep to the left for a 14-7 edge.

Moanalua (9-1) is done for the season. Na Menehune just could not get untracked on offense against the Knights’ hounding defense.

With a little more than 10 minutes left, the Knights’ Justice Ching intercepted an Au pass.

That set up Punivai’s 47-yard TD run in which he found a gaping hole and put on the jets all the way home for the biggest cushion of the night, 21-7.

Na Menehune’s next possession ended on downs, but a lateral to Kealohi and Kealohi’s fourth-down bomb to Ezra Grace went off the tips of Grace’s hands in the end zone.

“It was a snowball effect,” Moanalua coach Savaii Eselu said. “We couldn’t catch, and we couldn’t block first. It was all bad. All good things come to an end.”

For a Roosevelt football program that has made tremendous strides in each of Kui Kahooilihala’s three seasons as head coach, not looking ahead and approaching each game one at a time has gotten them to where they are.

“We gotta do what we do every week and take the same approach and practice the same,” he said.

After Saturday night’s 23-7 victory over Pearl City, the Rough Riders clinched a spot in the state tournament and OIA Division II championship game in one fell swoop. The program hasn’t been in both since 2007.

Roosevelt doubled its win total from two to four in 2017. The victory over the Chargers (6-5) puts the Rough Riders at 9-2 heading into Friday’s D-II final against Kaimuki. The Bulldogs (8-2) edged the Rough Riders 13-10 back on Aug. 17.

“The kids are excited, but they try to stay humble at the same time. We lost to Kaimuki the first time around,” Kahooilihala said. “The kids, they want to try and redeem themselves. They’re looking forward to this game.”

On Saturday, quarterback Sky Ogata was a problem all night for the Pearl City defense, rushing for 142 yards and throwing for an additional 32.

“It feels good. We never made the championship in a while and we never passed this round in a while,” he said. “It’s a good feeling, a good win.”

Mason Morishige’s 28-yard field goal for Roosevelt with 1:24 left in the second quarter was the only score of the first half.

Roosevelt promptly scored its first touchdown in the second half when Ogata showed off his impressive speed for a 79-yard scamper with 11:10 left in the third, giving the Rough Riders a 9-0 lead.

The Chargers responded with their lone touchdown of the game on a 21-yard touchdown pass from Micah Quillopo-Jamile to a wide-open Justin Pfau to cut the deficit to 9-7 with 3:36 left into the third.

Roosevelt took over in the fourth quarter with a pair of memorable touchdowns. Ogata got his second score of the day on a 25-yard keeper with 10:30 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Rough Riders then took a two-possession lead when Brandon Teixiera found Tamaki Iikima on a fake extra-point kick for a 2-point conversion.

On its next offensive possession, Roosevelt put an exclamation point on the game when Myka Kukahiwa ran a fake punt for a 59-yard touchdown with 6:13 left, catching seemingly everyone in the stadium by surprise except those on the Rough Riders’ sideline.

“I saw everyone running down, which is what the play was meant to do,” Kukahiwa said. “I just saw the field open and ran as fast as I could.”

Kahooilihala credited another coach on the staff in Arnold Morgado, who played for the Kansas City Chiefs from 1977 to 1980, as the architect for the play call.

“It’s coach Arnold Morgado, man. We don’t wanna do that but we practice it, and if the situation in the field calls for it then we’ll do it,” Kahooilihala said. “That was one of those times where we had to do it. Coach called it and I said ‘Go ahead, man. Let’s go.’ ”

* JV — Kaiser 20, Roosevelt 0

Naomas Asuega-Fualaau rushed for 223 yards on 28 carries, scoring two touchdowns, as Kaimuki outlasted Kaiser 30-14 on Saturday in OIA Division II semifinal play at John Kauinana Stadium.

Kaimuki (9-2, 8-0) earned a state-tournament berth with the win. The Bulldogs rushed 43 times for 305 yards and finished with 401 yards of total offense. Kaiser (4-5-1, 3-4) had 250 total yards.

“It feels good to be back,” Kaimuki coach David Tautofi said. “We’ve got another big game ahead of us (against Roosevelt). We can’t look ahead to states yet, but it gives us an easy feeling knowing that our season isn’t done.”

Asuega-Fualaau, a junior running back, was the lead ball-carrier on a sunny afternoon when the first-place Bulldogs flipped the script. When the teams met three weeks earlier, Kaimuki quarterback Jonah Fa‘asoa passed for a school-record 435 yards in a 46-21 win.

This time, the Bulldogs suited up just 23 players and were cautious about wearing down their two-way ironman players.

“We came out with the victory. It was definitely the game plan to stick with what we are, what we’re capable of doing. It would be dumb for us not to,” Tautofi said. “We’ve got a lot of playmakers. We just needed to get ourselves in a rhythm.”

The first quarter was exclusively elephant formation, but Asuega-Fualaau lost the ball on a 30-yard gain down the left sideline.

Kaiser was opportunistic. Noah Matsumoto gained 27 yards on a right-side run, and Koa Tom closed the drive with a 17-yard touchdown pass to Mason Yoshino with 7:10 left in the first quarter.

Kaiser withstood the smash-mouth efforts of Kaimuki for one series, but the Bulldogs got a 31-yard punt return by Jonah Stephens to set up three-play, 46-yard drive. Asuega-Fualaau followed his blockers for a 40-yard TD run down the left sideline.

Fa‘asoa entered the game at the start of the second quarter and Kaimuki switched to a spread formation. The junior found Kaulana Kaluna Jr. open for a 16-yard touchdown with 8:58 left in the second quarter. Kaimuki led 14-7.

Kaiser tied the game on a pivotal play near midfield late in the first half. On fourth-and-1, Tom connected with Jesse Stroede on a quick out pass, and as the cornerback missed on an interception attempt, Stroede blazed to the end zone for a 41-yard TD with 1:33 remaining.

From there, Kaimuki’s ground-and-pound took command. Asuega-Fualaau’s 9-yard TD run around right end, plus his 2-point conversion run, made it 22-14 with 3:39 left.

Stephens, returning from an injury, scored on a 37-yard run with a nice cutback on the right side to give Kaimuki a 30-14 lead with 10:14 remaining.

Kaimuki limited Kaiser to 116 yards of total offense in the second half.

The Kalani boys repeated as team champions, while the Kalaheo girls won their first team title since 1993 at Saturday’s OIA cross country championships at Central Oahu Regional Park.

McKinley’s Narayana Schneider held off Roosevelt’s Reimon Wada to win the boys 5-kilometer race in 17 minutes, 31.05 seconds. Wada was second in 17:36.02 and Pearl City’s Kainalu Pagente was third in 17:42.28 over the 3.1 miles.

Schneider, fifth in last year’s OIA championship, averaged a 5:39.1 mile on the grassy and hilly course that is the site of the state meet on Oct. 27. It was his third win of the season and he became the first McKinley boy to win an OIA individual title.

Kalani had three runners place in the top 12 and finished with a meet-low 66 points to retain its title. Sean Guillermo finished fifth in 17:57.40, Micah Kimura was ninth in 18:21.68, Sean Koyamatsu placed 12th in 18:26.01, Kaulana Suzuki 22nd in 18:52.67 and Dristen Canaday 24th in 19:03.18. Also running for Kalani were Koki Yamaguchi (47th) and Alexander Lau (48th).

Kalaheo was second with 83 points and Pearl City had 138.

Kalaheo placed four girls in the top 20 and scored 92 points to top the team standings. Radford was second with 115 and Roosevelt had 117.

Grace Kathman finished 13th to lead the Mustangs. Teammates Karina Maciel (23:28.40) and Macy Carroll (23:29.09) placed 16th and 17th, Emily Naylor finished 20th in 23:31.27 and Larrissa Teramura 27th in 24:04.63. Also running for Kalaheo were Grace Nastase (36th) and Sawyer Fernandez (43rd).

Moanalua’s Dallas Inouye made it a Moanalua repeat in the girls race, winning the 5K race in 21:17.93. Inouye was fifth in last year’s race that was won by Moanalua’s Brooklyn Allen. Inouye also won this year’s OIA East championship and two other races.

Moanalua’s Maleah Kanayama finished second in 21:49.91 and Kalani’s Paige Basilio was third in 22:16.30.

Hanalani junior Adam Harder continued to push the pace and finished with a championship.

Harder won Saturday’s ILH cross country championship at Punahou, finishing the boys 5-kilometer race in 17 minutes, 6.40 seconds. Harder is Hanalani’s first runner to win the ILH title. It was his sixth victory of the season and 15 seconds faster than his Oct. 13 win on the same course.

‘Iolani’s Wolfgang Sakamaki was second in 17:21.99 and Joshua Lerner was third in 17:26.84.

Punahou placed five runners in the top 15 to win the boys team title with 48 points. ‘Iolani was second with 69 and Hawaii Baptist had 79.

The Buffanblu were led by Parker Mooney’s fourth-place finish in 17:42.02. Scoring for Punahou were Cameron Coffelt (seventh, 18:01.18), Caden Lombard (11th, 18:25.24), Cooper Baines (12th, 18:30.71) and Aaron Chang (14th, 18:40.37). Also on the winning team were Jordan Furuta (18th) and Cade Lehl (20th).

Hawaii Baptist’s Kacie Kwan held off the field to win the girls 5K in 20:19.68. Punahou’s Maiya Fujiwara was second in 20:21.90 and Le Jardin’s Gianna Sbarbaro was third in 20:26.93. Kwan’s winning time was 19 seconds faster than her fifth-place showing on the same course a week earlier. She was runner-up at last year’s ILH championship.

Punahou placed five girls in the top 12 to score 32 points and win its fourth straight team title and 12th in 14th years. Hawaii Baptist had 43 and ‘Iolani had 76.

Malia Dickhens finished fifth for Punahou in 20:38.11, Maya Mastick seventh (20:47.11), Kayla Almeida eighth (20:49.71), Georgi Brady 10th (20:55.81) and Mel Lum 12th (21:16.27). Also on the winning team was Anna Fujisaki (38th).

Note

Honokaa’s Sophia Cash won Friday’s BIIF championship and became the league’s first four-time champion. Cash finished 42 seconds ahead of the runner-up. Kealakehe’s Alec Ankrum won the boys race. The Hilo girls and Waiakea boys claimed the team titles.

LONDON >> Philip Rivers threw for 306 yards with two touchdown passes and the Los Angeles Chargers held on for a 20-19 victory today in London after the Tennessee Titans failed twice on a go-ahead 2-point conversion with 31 seconds remaining.

Marcus Mariota completed 24 of 32 passes for 237 yards and a touchdown for the Titans (3-4), throwing a 1-yard completion to tight end Luke Stocker on fourth down to pull within one after a review determined the quarterback was down as he ran for the end zone on the previous play.

The Titans then twice tried to go for the 2-pointer and the win, with Mariota’s first attempt, a pass intended for Tajae Sharp, negated by a defensive holding call on the Chargers’ Casey Hayward and his second, to Taywan Taylor, tipped by safety Anthony Phillips.

The Chargers (5-2) won their fourth consecutive game despite the absence of Melvin Gordon, their starting running back, because of a hamstring injury.

Gordon, who entered the game third in the NFL in rushing with 466 yards and had scored a total of nine touchdowns this season.

Austin Ekeler, in his second season, earned his first start in Gordon’s place and ran for 42 yards on 12 carries, but it was Rivers who shouldered the burden for the Chargers.

He answered Ryan Succop’s opening 28-yard field goal with a 75-yard touchdown pass to Tyrell Williams on Los Angeles’ first play from scrimmage — the longest touchdown scored in the NFL’s 11-year history of holding games in London.

Michael Badgley made it 10-3 with a 29-yard field goal before Succop responded by making one from 33 yards in the second quarter.

The Titans appeared poised to head into halftime with the lead before Mariota was intercepted by the Chargers’ Denzel Perryman at their 4-yard line when his pass was tipped at the line of scrimmage.

Rivers, who completed 19 of 26 passes, then extended the advantage to 17-6 just over a minute into the second half when he found Michael Williams on a 55-yard touchdown pass.

The Titans, who entered having lost their past two games, responded on the next possession when Derrick Henry had a 1-yard score to end a 10-quarter skid without a touchdown to climb back to 17-13.

Succop missed a field-goal attempt from 51 yards — only his second miss of the season — and after stopping Los Angeles, the Titans took over at their 11-yard line with 4:55 remaining, driving the length of the field on the final drive.

Running back Dion Lewis ran for 91 yards on 13 carries, including a 36-yard gain on the final drive that moved Tennessee into the Chargers’ territory.

The Titans made their first appearance in England, while the Chargers played at Wembley for the first time since Oct. 26, 2008, when they lost 37-32 to the New Orleans Saints.

DONGSHAN TOWNSHIP, Taiwan >> One of Taiwan’s fastest passenger trains derailed today on a curve along a popular weekend route, killing at least 18 people and injuring more than 170 others, authorities said.

The Puyuma express was carrying more than 360 passengers from a suburb of Taipei in the north to Taitung, a city on Taiwan’s southeast coast, when it went off the tracks shortly before 5 p.m., the government said in a statement.

There was no immediate word on the cause of the accident.

Most of the deaths were in the first car, and it was unclear whether other people were trapped in the train, according to a government spokesman, who spoke on the customary condition of anonymity.

Some passengers were crushed to death, Ministry of National Defense spokesman Chen Chung-chi said.

“Their train car turned over. They were crushed, so they died right away,” Chen said.

Earlier, the government put the death toll as high as 22, but the National Fire Agency, citing the Cabinet spokesman’s office, later reduced that figure and blamed a miscalculation.

Photos from the scene just south of the city of Luodong showed the train’s cars in a zig-zag formation near the tracks. Five cars were turned on their sides.

Local television reports said passengers tried to escape through windows and that bystanders gathered to help them before rescuers arrived.

Hours after the accident, one of the eight cars was seen tipped over at about a 75-degree angle, with the entire right side destroyed.

Fearing people may be trapped beneath the car, firefighters with lights on their hard hats peered underneath as a crane prepared to upend it. The firefighters were joined by soldiers and Buddhist charity workers who gathered on both sides of the tracks.

Soldiers removed bodies to identify them, but nightfall complicated the rescue work.

On a live feed provided by Taiwan’s United Daily News, rescuers could be seen carrying what appeared to be a body wrapped in white plastic away from the site.

At the scene, searchers walked through an upright car with flashlights. The search-and-rescue work was to continue until early Monday to make sure everyone aboard was accounted for, Premier William Lai told reporters shortly after midnight.

“The underlying cause should be investigated to the maximum extent to avoid anything like this happening in the future,” Lai said. “We will make the whole thing transparent.”

Ensuring that rail traffic goes back to normal is also a priority, he said.

Most people who were seriously hurt suffered head injuries and one was bleeding internally, said Lin Chih-min, deputy director of Luodong Boai Hospital, where four people were in intensive care. The hospital had treated 65 people total.

The wreck happened at a railway station called Hsin Ma, but the train was not scheduled to stop there.

The Puyuma was launched in 2013 to handle the rugged topography of Taiwan’s east coast. It is distinct from the high-speed rail that runs on the west coast. The Puyuma trains travel up to 150 kilometers (93 miles) per hour, faster than any other in Taiwan except for the high-speed rail.

The train that derailed had its most recent inspection and major maintenance work in 2017, Taiwan Railways Administration Director Lu Chie-shen said at a televised news conference.

Sunday’s derailment was at least the third deadly rail accident in Taiwan since 2003.

A popular tourist train overturned in the southern mountains in April 2011 after a large tree fell into its path. Five Chinese visitors were killed.

A train undertaking a test run ignored a stop sign and crashed into another train in northeastern Taiwan in June 2007. Five people were killed and 16 others hurt.

And in March 2003, a train derailed near a popular mountain resort, killing 17 people and hurting more than 100 people. Investigators blamed brake failure.

ANAHEIM, Calif. >> Brad Ausmus has been named the Los Angeles Angels’ manager.

General manager Billy Eppler today announced the hiring of Ausmus, who served as his special assistant last season. Contract terms were not released.

Ausmus replaces Mike Scioscia, who left the club earlier this month after 19 seasons in charge. Scioscia is the winningest manager in franchise history.

Ausmus is a former big league catcher who spent four seasons as the Detroit Tigers’ manager from 2014-17. The Tigers won the AL Central in his first season but went just 314-332 in his tenure.

The big-budget Angels have missed the playoffs in four consecutive seasons and haven’t won a playoff game since 2009. They are coming off three straight losing seasons for the first time since 1992-94.

LOS ANGELES >> Forty years after he first appeared in theaters, Michael Myers is still drawing huge audiences for a good scare.

Universal Pictures said today that “Halloween” took in an estimated $77.5 million in ticket sales from North American theaters.

It captured first place at the box office with the second-highest horror opening of all time, behind last year’s “It.”

It also marked the second highest October opening ever behind “Venom’s” $80.3 million launch earlier this month.

The studio also says it’s the biggest movie opening ever with a female lead over 55, in star Jamie Lee Curtis.

David Gordon Green directed “Halloween,” which brings back Curtis as Laurie Strode and Nick Castle as Michael Myers and essentially ignores the events of the other sequels and spinoffs aside from John Carpenter’s original.

Reviews have been largely positive for the new installment, with an 80 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a B+ Cinema Score from audiences that were mostly older (59 percent over 25) and male (53 percent). Internationally, “Halloween” earned $14.3 million from 23 markets.

Blumhouse, the shop behind “Get Out” and numerous other modestly budgeted horror films, co-produced “Halloween.” It cost only $10 million to make.

“You take the nostalgia for ‘Halloween,’ especially with the return of Jamie Lee Curtis, and you combine that with the Blumhouse brand and its contemporary currency in the genre and it just made for a ridiculously potent combination at the box office this weekend,” said Jim Orr, Universal’s president of domestic distribution.

With 10 days to go until the holiday, including another weekend, the studio expects “Halloween” to enjoy a much longer life than typical horror films that usually drop off significantly after the first weekend.

“Halloween” was enough to bump the comic-book film “Venom” out of the No. 1 spot and into third place. In its third weekend in theaters. It collected $18.1 million, bringing its domestic total to $171.1 million.

Meanwhile “A Star Is Born” held on to second place in its third weekend with $19.3 million. The Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga drama has grossed $126.4 million from North American theaters and is cruising to break $200 million worldwide Sunday.

Damien Chazelle’s Neil Armstrong biopic “First Man” tumbled to fifth place in its second weekend earning $8.6 million, down 46 percent from its launch.

It was a particularly busy week at the box office as critically acclaimed films such as the young adult adaptation “The Hate U Give” and the Robert Redford swan song “The Old Man & The Gun” expanded nationwide after a few weeks in limited release.

“The Hate U Give,” now in 2,303 locations, placed sixth with $7.5 million, and “The Old Man & The Gun” took 10th with $2.1 million from 802 locations.

A number of well-received indies also made their debuts. At the top was Jonah Hill’s directorial debut “Mid90s,” which opened in four theaters with $249,500 (or a $62,375 per theater average).

The Melissa McCarthy film “Can You Ever Forgive Me,” about the literary forger Lee Israel, grossed $150,000 in five locations.

October has never been a particularly strong box office month, but 2018 has helped to change that. The weekend was up nearly 72 percent from the same weekend last October and the year to date is up nearly 11 percent.

“The industry is on a major roll right now,” said comScore senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian. “Audiences are responding to movies big and small right now — You can have your cinematic fast food and fine dining all at once right now. The movie-going experience is as viable and relevant as ever.”

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through today at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to comScore. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.

1.”Halloween,” $77.5 million.

2.”A Star Is Born,” $19.3 million.

3.”Venom,” $18.1 million.

4.”Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween,” $9.7 million.

5.”First Man,” $8.6 million.

6.”The Hate U Give,”$7.5 million.

7. “Smallfoot,” $6.6 million.

8.”Night School,” $5 million.

9.”Bad Times At The El Royale,” $3.3 million.

10.”The Old Man & The Gun,” $2 million.

Honolulu police closed all lanes of Liliha Street this morning at North Kuakini Street after a 73-year-old pedestrian was struck and killed by a vehicle.

According to HPD, the male was crossing Liliha around 7:53 a.m. in a marked crosswalk when he was struck by a full-size pickup truck. They said he was taken to Queen’s Medical Center in critical condition and died at the hospital.

Police said speed, alcohol and drugs to not appear to be factors in the collision at this time. All lanes of traffic in the area have been reopened.

This is the 26th pedestrian fatality of 2018 and the 56th traffic-related death overall.

SNELLVILLE, Ga. >> Two teenage suspects, including one who is still being sought by police, are facing charges in connection with the fatal shooting of a Georgia police officer who was killed while responding to a suspicious vehicle parked near a school, authorities said today.

Authorities said they believe 18-year-old Tafahree Maynard fatally shot Officer Antwan Toney on Saturday afternoon in the Snellville area, Gwinnett County Police said in a statement. Maynard remained at large early today and should be considered armed and dangerous, police said. He faces charges of aggravated assault and felony murder.

“Tafahree Maynard needs to turn himself in,” Gwinnett County Police Chief Butch Ayers said at a press conference.

A second suspect, 19-year-old Isaiah Pretlow, was charged with aggravated assault for allegedly pointing a firearm at an officer during the pursuit after Toney’s fatal shooting, police said.

Toney died at a hospital from his injuries, police said. The 30-year-old from Southern California had been with the Gwinnett County Police Department for nearly three years. It was his first police job.

“The people that worked with Officer Toney on a daily basis recalled a very jovial person who was dedicated to his job and dedicated to his community,” Ayers said.

Toney and other officers responded to a call about a suspicious vehicle near a school, police said. When the officers approached, someone in the vehicle opened fire and Toney was hit. Then the vehicle sped off.

According to police, Pretlow drove the vehicle from the scene following the shooting, crashed a short distance away and fled along with other occupants.

Honolulu firefighters said the blaze started as a vehicle fire in a garage that spread to the two-story structure at about 9:45 a.m. Some 30 firefighters responded and extinguished the blaze in about 40 minutes, said Honolulu Fire Department Capt. Scot Seguirant.

Firefighters determined the fire was intentionally set and turned the case over to police. Damage from the fire was estimated at $640,000, Seguirant said.
