“The Fall Guy” opened in first place at the box office, taking in $28.5 million this weekend to lead all films in North America, according to industry estimates released Sunday.

The action comedy stars Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, and is inspired by the 1980s TV series of the same name starring Lee Majors.

In a bit of a surprise, second place went to a re-release of 1999’s “Star Wars: The Phantom Menace,” which took in $8 million, Comscore reported.

“Challengers” was third with $7.6 million, one week after opening in first place.

The horror film “Tarot” opened in fourth place with $6.5 million Friday through Sunday, followed by “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire,” which grossed $4.5 million in its sixth week.

Rounding out the top 10 domestic releases were “Civil War” ($3.5 million), “Unsung Hero” ($3 million), “Kung Fu Panda 4” ($2.4 million), “Abigail” ($2.3 million) and “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” ($1.8 million).
