Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation slipped to second with takings of $2.687m across 405 screens, down from last week’s high of $5.019m from the same number of screens.
Meanwhile the latest Marvel themed film, The Fantastic Four, failed to set the box office alight, pulling in $2.619 over its opening weekend in 333 screens.
Australian film Last Cab to Darwin performed well, coming in fourth in the box with $1.148m on its debut in 221 screens.
Figures for Ant-man, fell below $1m ($905,758), putting it just ahead of Japanese animated feature film Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘f’ which took $838,281 in its opening weekend.
