In a rather lackluster weekend at the North American box office, 'Lisa Frankenstein' failed to make a major impact in its debut. Written by Diablo Cody and starring Kathryn Newton and Cole Sprouse, the horror comedy only managed to earn $3.8 million, securing the second spot behind the spy thriller 'Argylle.'

Directed by Matthew Vaughn, 'Argylle' claimed the top spot with a modest $6.5 million, bringing its domestic total to $28.8 million over two weekends. Although the $200 million production marks Apple's first major theatrical disappointment, its global earnings currently stand at $60.1 million. The film, distributed by Universal Pictures, was shown in 3,605 locations across North America.
