Box office top 20: 'The Revenant' on top with $16 million

NEW YORK (AP) - In its third week of wide-release, Alejandro Inarritu's Oscar-nominated "The Revenant" rose to the top of box office with $16 million, according to final studio figures Monday.

"The Revenant" ascended to no. 1 amid the kind of snowy conditions central to the frigid and brutal 1820s frontier thriller. The snowstorm that battered the East Coast - and caused hundreds of movie theaters to temporarily close - took approximately a 10 percent bite out of overall North America receipts.

Last week's top film, the Kevin Hart-Ice Cube comedy "Ride Along 2," dipped heavily to third with $12.5 million in its second week. A trio of poorly reviewed new releases - "Dirty Grandpa," ''The Boy" and "The 5th Wave" - all struggled to make a dent.
