Marvel’s “Ant-Man” punched above its weight at the weekend box office, debuting 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 “Minions” for the top spot.
