Los Angeles, United States: ‘Straight Outta Compton,’ a biopic about the pioneering rap group N.W.A., crushed the competition in its debut weekend to top the North American box office, industry data showed Monday.

Racing past its rivals, the film -- named after the 1988 debut studio album from the group that gave birth to the gangsta rap genre and launched the careers of Ice Cube and Dr. Dre -- took in an impressive $60.2 million, box office tracker Exhibitor Relations reported.  

It sailed ahead of the number two film, ‘Mission: Impossible -- Rogue Nation,’ which took in $17.2 million.  

The Tom Cruise action-thriller, the fifth installment in the blockbuster franchise, has earned a total of $138.3 million after three weeks in theaters.  

The other major debut of the week -- ‘The Man from U.N.C.L.E.,’ a reboot of the hit 1960s spy series -- earned a disappointing $13.4 million for third place.  

Following in fourth was one of the major flops of the summer -- the comic book action film reboot ‘Fantastic Four,’ which took in just $8.2 million in its second week.

Psychological thriller ‘The Gift’ starring Jason Bateman and Rebecca Hall was in fifth place at $6.5 million.  

In sixth place was Marvel action flick ‘Ant-Man’ with $5.5 million in its fifth week. Its total earnings now stand at $157.5 million.  

Seventh was the raunchy comedy reboot ‘Vacation,’ about a family holiday gone awry that stars Ed Helms, Christina Applegate and Chevy Chase, with $5.2 million.  

Eighth place went to animated comedy sequel ‘Minions,’ featuring the yellow mischief-making creatures, with $5.1 million. Its total haul after six weeks in theaters is $312.9 million.  

The ninth spot went to ‘Ricki and the Flash,’ starring Oscar-winning actress Meryl Streep as a rock-and-roller trying to mend ties with her long-suffering family, with $4.6 million.  

Rounding out the top ten was Amy Schumer and Judd Apatow's comedy-romance ‘Trainwreck’ with $3.8 million in its fifth week in theaters.
