Amazon MGM Studios' R-rated romantic sports drama "Challengers" opened in first place with $15 from 3,477 theaters.

Lionsgate's true story Christian drama "Unsung Hero" made its debut in second place with $7.7 million from 2,832 theaters, against a $7 million budget. The film received mixed reviews from critics (60% on Rotten Tomatoes), but a stellar reception from audiences ("A+" CinemaScore).

"Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" is holding in third place with $7.2 milion, down 24.8% from last week. The film has now grossed $181.6 million domestically and $337.7 million overseas. That's $519.3 million worldwide.

After two weeks at #1, "Civil War" has now fallen to #4 and grossed $7 million over the weekend. The film only dropped 37.6%, so it's still going strong. The North American total has reached $56.1 million, while overseas it raked in $15.4 million for a worldwide total of $71.6 million.

The Top 5 is rounded out by the horror film "Abigail" with $5.2 million, which brings the domestic total to $18.7 million, while overseas it adds another $9.8 million.

"Boy Kills World" only managed a #10 debut with $1.6 million from 1,993 theaters. The film received a lukewarm reception from both critics (60% on Rotten Tomatoes) and moviegoers ("B-" CinemaScore).
