Ryan Gosling's reboot of "The Fall Guy," took first place in its debut at the box office, according to IMDB's Box Office Mojo.

The action flick, starring Gosling as a cocky stunt double for a famous actor, raked in $10.48 million on Friday. The movie, loosely based on the Lee Majors-led 1980s TV series, was expected to garner $28 million for its opening weekend after falling short of earlier estimates, according to the Hollywood Reporter. That's down from the initially anticipated $30 million to $35 million.

The Post gave "The Fall Guy" two out of four stars, calling it "mediocre" and "rather annoying."

"The Fall Guy" took in $10.48 million on Friday.

Coming in a distant second place was "Tarot," with a $2.55 million take. The horror film about a group of friends who inadvertently unleash evil from a deck of cursed tarot cards also hit theaters Friday.

A week after its debut at No. 1, Zendaya's tennis flick "Challengers" — about a "steamy" messy love triangle — dropped to third place, taking home $2.52 million on Friday.

"Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace," came in fourth place, with sales of $2.4 million. The movie returned to the silver screen Friday for its 25th anniversary in a limited engagement.
