‘Ant-Man’
debuts with
$58M,
‘Trainwreck’
opens with
$30.2M

MARVEL’S “Ant-Man” punched above its weight at the weekend box office, debut-

ing with an estimated $58 million, while Amy Schumer’s “Trainwreck” also opened
strongly with $30.2 million.
The result didn’t match some of Marvel’s better known, brawnier properties. But “Ant-
Man” — a relatively inexpensive superhero movie with a $130 million budget — still
dominated North American multiplexes.
The tiny hero, played by Paul Rudd, edged out the little yellow guys of Universal’s “Min-
ions” for the top spot. In its second week of release, “Minions” took in $50.2 million.
Schumer’s big-screen debut “Trainwreck,” which the comedian also wrote, earned an
estimated $30.2 million. That makes it one of the biggest comedy successes this sum-
mer and the second best opening ever for director Judd Apatow.
