The blockbuster, starring Jared Leto, Margot Robbie and Will Smith, saw off competition from Seth Rogen's animated comedy Sausage Party, which is new at two with $33m.
Pete's Dragon - Disney's latest live-action movie which looks adorable - is also new at three, just above Jason Bourne at four with $14m.
