Ant Man dodges Amy Schumer’s Trainwreck for second week in top spot at the box office
Amy Schumer and Bill Hader’s new film Trainwreck failed to knock Marvel’s latest comic book creation off the top of the box office on a muted weekend at the cinema.
Ant Man took $3.228m on 527 screens over the weekend to swell its takings to $10.121m over two weeks, while Trainwreck, which follows a commitment-phobic career woman as she starts a relationship, got $1.373m on 236 screens.
A one-off concert from musical great Andre Rieu which was shown on selected screens was the third highest grossing event of the weekend taking an impressive $1.268m on 99 screens.
