Marvel’s latest offering Ant Man managed takings of $5.346m on its opening weekend to leapfrog Minions, Inside Out and Magic Mike XXL to the top of the box office.

The adventures of Paul Rudd’s shrinking superhero were shown on 577 screens while the end of the school holidays bit hard on the animated capers, with Minions taking $1.447m to take its total takings to $30.595m, and last week’s number one Inside Out dropping to $1.582m, with total takings of $28m.

Aussie film Ruben Guthrie, about an alcoholic adman looking to reform, managed $119,601 in a 33 screen limited release on the weekend, with total takings so far of $215,299.
