Box Office Top 20: 'Star Trek Beyond' Beams Up $59.3 Million

LOS ANGELES (AP) - "Star Trek Beyond" easily topped the domestic box office in its first weekend in theaters with $59.3 million, but the real winner was "Lights Out," which cost Warner Bros. $5 million to make and landed in third place with $21.7 million out of the gate, studios said Monday.

"Star Trek Beyond," the third film in the rebooted series, cost an estimated $185 million to produce. While its debut was healthy, it is over $10 million shy of the second installment's opening in 2013.

"Ice Age: Collision Course" bombed in its domestic debut with $21.4 million, putting it in fourth place behind "Lights Out," and the more direct competitor, "The Secret Life of Pets," which hung in second place with $29.6 million after three weeks in theaters.

Sony's "Ghostbusters" reboot fell to fifth place with $21 million in its second weekend, bringing its domestic total to $86.3 million.
