Blue Beetle, the latest movie in the troubled DC cinema universe, makes its debut at the top of the North American box office, knocking
Barbie from the top, but with a gross of just over $25 Million it will feel like a disappointing debut for the movie.
barbie falls to number 2 this weekend after 4 weeks at the top but with the movie still pulling in good audience figures it might not be the end of its time at the top.
Also new this weekend is the R rated dog movie Strays which makes its debut at number 5 with $8.3 Million.
