Paul Thomas Anderson<\/a>\u2019s comedic action thriller \u201cOne Battle After Another<\/a>\u201d topped box office charts in its debut, collecting $22.4 million from 3,634 North American theaters over the weekend. The film, starring Leonardo DiCaprio<\/a> as an ex-revolutionary on the run, added another $26.1 million internationally for a global tally of $48.5 million.<\/p>\n

Box office experts are mixed on what to make of those initial results. A low $20 million debut is disappointing for a film that cost above $130 million to produce and another $70 million to market.
