Many movies debuted this weekend, while others are still accumulating cash from the weeks before. In short, it’s time for another review of this weekend’s box office.

Coming in at #1 is Marvel’s “Ant-Man,” which opened nicely with over $58 million.

Despite the fact that it topped this weekend’s box office, it’s the second lowest opening Marvel has ever had, with “The Incredible Hulk” still holding the first position with a measly $55 million.

Next up are “Minions.” The animated spinoff managed to earn another $50 million this weekend, which puts it over the $200 million mark.

Although these numbers aren’t bad, they still won’t be enough to surpass Pixar’s “Inside Out,” which landed on the fourth place with $11 million and a total of $306 million.

A nice surprise came from Amy Schumer’s comedy “Trainwreck,” which opened with $30 million and earned itself the third spot on this weekend’s box office. “Jurassic World” cashed another $11 million, which gives it a grand total of $611 million – so far.

Coming in at last place was “Mr. Holmes,” a film about the world’s most famous detective, which features Ian McKellen in the titular role. It came close to $2.5 million, and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to have a fun time next to all these blockbusters.
