LOS ANGELES — “The Predator” is at the top of the food chain in its first weekend in theaters. 20th Century Fox said Sunday that the film earned an estimated $24 million from more than 4,000 North American theaters.

Audiences were largely male (62 percent) and white (45 percent), and underwhelmed, giving the movie a C+ CinemaScore that echoed the tepid critical response.

Second place went to the “Conjuring” spinoff “The Nun,” which added $18.2 million in its second weekend.

Lionsgate’s “A Simple Favor,” starring Anna Kendick, opened close behind in third place with $16.1 million.
