weekend at the box office.
喜剧电影《身份窃贼》(Identity Thief)上周末重返北美票房榜冠军宝座,证明了影星梅丽莎•麦卡锡(Melissa McCarthy)战胜新老竞争对手的才华。

horror film 'Dark Skies.'
《身份窃贼》的表现好于德韦恩•约翰逊(Dwayne Johnson)主演的惊悚片《告密者》(Snitch)和恐怖片《黑暗天际》(Dark Skies)。后两部是在北美上映的新片。
'Snitch,' from Lions Gate Entertainment Corp.'s LGF +1.77% Summit label, opened to $13 million, making it a close No. 2. The
studio paid only about $2.5 million for
domestic rights and president of
distribution Richie Fay said he felt 'very good' about the launch.

series dropped 60% on its second weekend,
taking in $10 million and
landing at No. 5.
