(NEW YORK) — After months of prerelease debate, Sony Picture's female-led "Ghostbusters" reboot finally arrived in theaters as neither a massive success nor the bomb some predicted, as the much-scrutinized film opened with an estimated $46 million in North American theaters, second to the holdover hit "The Secret Life of Pets."

According to studio estimates Sunday, "The Secret Life of Pets" stayed on top with $50.6 million in its second week.
