Disney’s ‘Ant-Man’ Retains No 1 Spot at Box Office

Los Angeles Times: After receiving a Donkey Kong-style pounding from critics, “Pixels,” the ’80s video-game themed comedy starring Adam Sandler, was edged out at the box office on its opening weekend, failing to take the No. 1 spot from “Ant-Man,” which earned an estimated $24.8 million. “Pixels,” released by Sony, took the No. 2 spot in its first weekend with approximately $24 million domestically. In its two weekends of release, “Ant-Man” has earned an estimated $106.1 million at the domestic box office and $226.5 million worldwide. The Marvel super-hero movie, released by Disney, stars Paul Rudd as the insect-sized protagonist.
