'Ant-Man' debuts with $58M at box office

NEW YORK -- 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 for "Ant-Man" didn't match some of Marvel's better known and brawnier properties.

But "Ant-Man" -- a relatively inexpensive superhero movie with a $130 million budget -- still dominated North American multiplexes, edging out Universal's "Minions," which took in $50.2 million in its second week.

"Ant-Man," starring Paul Rudd as a slightly more irreverent and distinctly smaller superhero, came in a little below earlier stand-alone Marvel films like "Thor" ($65.7 million in 2011) and "Captain America: The First Avenger" ($65.1 million in 2011).
