Not many punters went to the cinema in the US this last weekend, probably all traveling to The Great American Eclipse that happened on Monday, so the top film has the smallest opening in many a week.
The end of August is never a big time for releases with the school returning after the summer and many big name blockbusters waiting for the lucrative holiday season.
Falling to number 2 is Annabelle Creation with a weekend take of $15.5 million, this brings the horror films total to $64 million from 2 weekends of release.
Also new this week was Daniel Craig in Lucky Logan which made its debut at 3 with $8 million.
Spider-Man Homecoming was the top total grossing film of the weekend with the film now having taken $314 million and also the longest running film with 7 weeks on the chart.
