Weekend Box Office: McCarthy’s ‘Identity Thief’ Tops Box Office Again

NEW YORK — Hollywood’s latest films performed tepidly at the box-office on Oscar weekend, with Melissa McCarthy’s “Identity Thief” returning to the top spot in its third week of release. The Universal comedy earned $14.1 million on the weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday, enough to regain the box-office title after losing it last week to 20th Century Fox’s “A Good Day to Die Hard,” the Bruce Willis action sequel.
