Melissa McCarthy's 'The Boss' debuts to $23.5M at box office

LOS ANGELES -- Step aside, Batman and Superman. Melissa McCarthy is "The Boss" at the box office now.

The actress' latest comedy narrowly topped "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" at the weekend box office with a $23.5 million debut, according to comScore estimates Sunday.
