Newcomer The Invisible Man debuts in first place at the weekend box office.

Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man made an estimated $29 million in its debut weekend. Costing only $7 million to make (not including marketing fees), it’s already a financial hit for Universal Pictures. The well-reviewed film follows Cecilia (Elisabeth Moss), a woman terrified of her abusive boyfriend, whom she believes has found a way to be invisible. Click here to read our review.

Debuting in fourth place was FUNimation’s My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising, which earned $6.3 million from 1,260 theatres in North America.  Since debuting last Wednesday, the animated Japanese action/adventure film has earned $9.6 million.

Rounding out the top five, Sony’s hit sequel Bad Boys for Life, starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, fell one spot from last weekend, earning another $4.3 million. Its domestic total now stands at $197.4 million in its seventh weekend. ~Marriska Fernandes
