Tim Burton's new fantasy Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children bested fellow debut Deepwater Horizon at the North American box office over the weekend, industry estimates showed on Sunday.
In a mediocre start considering the film's US$110-million (S$150-million) budget, Miss Peregrine's Home took in an estimated US$28.5 million to emerge No. 1. Deepwater Horizon opened in second place, with an estimated US$20.6 million in takings.
