The smallest super-hero at Marvel Ant-Man, just beat out Pixels, Minions, Trainwreck and Southpaw to take the number one spot at the box office for the second week in a row with $24,765,000 on 3,868 screens.
Ant-Man today has bought in a domestic gross of $106,075,000 to date, with an additional $120,400,000 from the foreign market. By the end of next week Ant-Man should over take The Incredible Hulk‘s $134,806,913 but it might be tough to reach Captain America: The First Avenger‘s $176,654,505. Marvel usually leaves its films in the theater for 12-16 weeks. With a slim slate of films in August, Ant-Man could reach Thor‘s $181,030,624.
