The latest entry in the “Men in Black” series arrived at the top of the box office this weekend, but its black suits aren’t as sharp as they once were .

Sony’s “Men in Black: International” sold $28.5 million in domestic tickets Friday through Sunday. While that was enough to make it the best-selling movie in North American theaters this weekend, it was a moderately disappointing result given that analysts expected sales above $30 million — and that the movie’s production budget was reportedly over $100 million.

True to its name, “Men in Black: International” took in more overseas; according to the studio, it sold an additional $73.7 million in tickets internationally this weekend.

The sequel replaces Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, the stars of the first three “Men in Black” blockbusters, with Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson, pitting the new pair against alien invaders abroad. Many critics found that formula stale, and the movie holds a 24 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
