The R-rated action comedy [_Hitman’s Bodyguard_](http://time.com/4897291/ryan-reynolds-salma-hayek-dinner/) fired through its opening weekend with a $21.6 million debut, nabbing the top slot at the box office.

With leads like mega-stars [Samuel L. Jackson](http://time.com/4901235/james-corden-samuel-jackson-rap-battle/), [Ryan Reynolds](http://time.com/4900834/ryan-reynolds-deadpool-2-stunt-death/) and [Salma Hayek](http://motto.time.com/4700737/salma-hayek-aging-gracefully-botox/), the film surpassed its closest competition, horror film _Annabelle: Creation,_ which earned $15.5 million. It also outdid its comedic rival, _Logan Lucky_, which earned $8 million in its opening weekend.

While _Hitman’s_ _Bodyguard_ received mixed reviews by critics, its star power likely drew audiences this weekend — which was a slow one for the summer without any blockbuster competition in theaters. The film follows one of the world’s top bodyguards (Reynolds) as he is forced to protect his enemy, a notorious hitman (Jackson).

The film received a lackluster 38% on Rotten Tomatoes — but audiences appeared to enjoy it more than critics, giving it a 75% rating on the site.

The latest in the _Conjuring_ world from Warner Bros., _Annabelle_‘s box office earnings this week dropped 56% from its debut weekend of $35 million.

_Logan Lucky_, which stars Channing Tatum, Adam Driver and Riley Keough, earned better reviews than _Hitman’s Bodyguard_ (with 93% on Rotten Tomatoes). [_Variety_](http://variety.com/2017/film/news/box-office-hitmans-bodyguard-logan-lucky-3-1202533861/) attributes the film’s slow start with “an unconventional production and marketing strategy” from the film’s director Steven Soderbergh, who released the film through indie distributor Bleecker Street.

Christopher Nolan’s _Dunkirk_ _and Open road’s The Nut Job 2: Nutty By Nature_, filled out the top five, earning $6.7 million and $5.1 million over the weekend, respectively.
