Glad to see that one nasty, completely out-of-line review didn't detract audiences from the GLORY that is Melissa McCarthy !
Hell, even the Snowpocalypse couldn't keep movie-goers away from her!
In fact, despite all of the odds, the actress' new comedy with Jason Bateman , Identity Thief, topped the weekend box by pulling in an estimated $36.6 million...the FIFTH biggest opening ever for a non-sequel R-rated comedy!
Sadly, however, it seems that Blizzard Storm Nemo DID take a bit of a toll on the flick's business, as Universal Studios projected that had it not been for all the snow, it could have surpassed the $40 million mark!
Hey! Whatever!
It still beat out last weekend's #1 film, Warm Bodies AND Channing Tatum 's latest collaboration with Steven Soderbergh, Side Effects, which respectively pulled in $11.5 million AND $10 million!
Check out the rest of this weekend's box office top ten...AFTER THE JUMP!!!

Warm Bodies, $11.5 million
Side Effects, $10 million
Silver Linings Playbook, $6.9 million
