John McClane still has some life left in him.
The newest chapter in the "Die Hard" franchise, "A Good Day to Die Hard," debuted at No. 1 this weekend, with a $25.1 million haul -- this despite its poor showing with critics (its current Rotten Tomatoes score is at a dismal 16 percent).
In second place was last week's top film, "Identity Thief." The comedy, starring Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman, brought in $23.4 million. In third, was the Nicholas Sparks adaptation "Safe Haven" with $21.4 million, followed by the animation flick "Escape from Planet Earth," at $16.1 million
One of the big surprises of the weekend was "Beautiful Creatures." The film, based on the popular "Caster Chronicles" books, brought in a disappointing $7.5 million.
