‘Identity Thief’ Surprises #1 At Box Office

Seth Gordon’s comedy Identity Thief takes over the number-one spot with $36.6 million. No one expected this movie to do so well, it reached an unexpected number; it certainly has enough heart mixed in to give audiences a satisfactory product. This is great news for Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy.

Last week’s number one Warm Bodies dropped to number two with $ $11.5 million. This is director Jonathan Levine’s best outcome yet; the zombie craze and original script have given him great results.

Side Effects which had a very well-known cast fought hard but ended up at number three with $10 million. The movie had appeal given the actors and the interesting story, but despite that, it does not seem to have had all the elements.

The Top 10 in the Box Office are:

1. Identity Thief – $36.6 mil

2. Warm Bodies – $11.5 mil

3. Side Effects – $10 mil

4. Silver Linings Playbook – $6.9 mil

5. Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters – $5.7 mil
