The Neil Armstrong film First Man has landed in third place at the North American box office, behind last weekend's champs Venom and A Star Is Born, the AP reports. Studio estimates on Sunday say that the Ryan Gosling-starrer brought in $16.5 million. Directed by Oscar-winner Damien Chazelle, First Man cost nearly $60 million to produce. First place again went to Venom which added $35.7 million, bringing its domestic total to $142.8 million.

Bradley Cooper's A Star Is Born fell only 35% in weekend two, earning $28 million to take second place. The family-friendly Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween opened in fourth place with $16.2 million, while Bad Times At The El Royale debuted in seventh place with $7.2 million.
