Ghostbusters fell 53% in its second weekend, tying with Lights Out, an indie horror film, in earning $21.6 million to fill the third and fourth slots.

Ice Age: Collision Course had been expected to collect US$26 million to US$33.3 million on its debut for 21st Century Fox Inc’s film division.
With the $4.9 million budget, the Lights Out flick marks another James Wan-affiliated movie that grossed more during the opening weekend than the cost to produce.
