Two new movies had solid openings this weekend, though neither was a super-hero at the box office.
"Ant-Man," from Disney's Marvel Studios, debuted to an estimated $58 million in the U.S. and Canada. That's a good start for a movie based on a little known character that cost $130 million to make, but not impressive given the standards Marvel itself has set.
Starring Paul Rudd as the titular shrinking hero alongside Michael Douglas and Michael Pena, "Ant-Man" posted the second lowest domestic opening of any of Marvel's 12 self-produced super-hero pictures, ahead of only "The Incredible Hulk," which started its run with $55.4 million in 2008.
The weekend's other new film was "Trainwreck," an inexpensive romantic comedy starring Amy Schumer and directed by Judd Apatow, which debuted to a healthy $30 million.
