Marvel action flick Ant-Man topped the North American box office in its debut over the weekend, while Bollywood drama Bajrangi Bhaijaan starring Salman Khan rounded off the top 10. The Hindi-language film has also made it to the coveted 100-crore (1 billion rupees; Dh57.7 million) club in India in its opening weekend.
Ant-Man posted sales of US $58m (Dh 213m), according to industry figures released on Sunday. It unseated animated comedy Minions, which came in second with $50.2m, after racking up $115.7m last weekend in its debut.
Amy Schumer's Trainwreck, about a woman who is wary of steady romantic relationships but falls for a sports doctor, came in third with $30.2m in sales. In fourth place was the animated flick Inside Out, at $11.7m, about a young girl whose emotions – joy, fear, anger, disgust and sadness – battle it out internally as she copes with a move to a new city. Jurassic World dropped from second to fifth place, taking in another $11.4m, bringing the dinosaur movie's overall total to a huge $611.1m. Taking the sixth spot was action-packed sci-fi fantasy Terminator Genisys, which brought in $5.4m in its third weekend.
In seventh position was Magic Mike XXL, a dance-themed drama about a former stripper, starring Channing Tatum, which pulled in $4.5m in theatres over the weekend.
Dropping to eighth place after debuting at number five was Hollywood producer Jason Blum's latest spine-tingler, The Gallows, which took in $4m. Ted 2, the raunchy sequel to Seth MacFarlane's comedy about a foul-mouthed teddy bear, grabbed ninth place, bringing in $2.7m.
At No 10 was Bajrangi Bhaijaan at $2.5m. It is about a speech-impaired girl from Pakistan who gets lost in India and gets help from a kind-hearted man to find her way home to her family.
