Paul Rudd's Ant-Man kept its top spot at the US box office for a second week in a row but not without competition from Adam Sandler's Pixel.



Ant-Man took in $24.7m, putting its total box office gross to $106m, while Pixels debuted in second place with $24m.

In Pixels, Sandler alongside Kevin James, Peter Dinklage, Josh Gad and Michelle Monaghan must save the world from an alien invasion of real-life video game characters such as Pac-Man and Donkey Kong.

Aside from Pixels, other new releases include Southpaw and Paper Towns. Southpaws landed in fifth place with $16.5m, followed by Paper Towns in sixth place with $12.5m.

Three of the summer's biggest movies remain in the top ten list. Minions, which had a huge debut earlier this month, slipped from second place to third place with $22.1m. Its total earning is now $261.6m.

Inside Out went from fourth place to seventh place with $7.3m, adding to its total earning of $320.3m.

Meanwhile, Jurassic World's $6.9m put it in fifth place, three spots down from last weekend's number eight spot. The dinosaur franchise has made a total of $623.8m in the box office since its debut in June.

Sir Ian McKellen's Mr Holmes improved from its last ranking, climbing up from eleventh place to ninth place with $2.8m.

Trainwreck and Terminator: Genisys dropped from the ranking but remain in the top ten this week.
