"Oz the Great and Powerful" came out as the clear winner at the box office over the weekend, taking in a whopping $80.3 million in its debut week.
"Jack the Giant Slayer" debuted at No. 1 during a slow weekend at the box office with an estimated $28 million, falling far short of its nearly $200 million budget.
The comedy "Identity Thief", starring Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman, scored the No. 1 spot at the box office this weekend in its second week of release, taking in an estimated $14 million.
Movie audiences apparently ignored mostly scathing reviews from critics and made "Identity Thief", starring Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman, this weekend's top-grossing movie.
Melissa McCarthy ("Bridesmaids", "Mike & Molly") and Jason Bateman ("Arrested Development", "Horrible Bosses") star in "Identity Thief", from "Horrible Bosses" director Seth Gordon. It hits theaters Feb. 8 of next year, and we've got the first trailer!
