Hop

It was another big weekend for animated film Rio, which nailed the number one spot at the box office for the second week in a row with $26.8 million. It beat out a couple of new releases, like Tyler Perry's Madea's Big Happy Family, which pulled in $25.8 million, and Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon's circus romance Water For Elephants, which earned $17.5 million in third place.

Hop managed to make it to number four with $12.5 million — not surprising since it was Easter weekend. Finally, Scream 4 just squeaked into the top five with a total of $7.2 million in its second week of release.

Despite the good reviews of Scream 4, it couldn't beat fellow new release Rio at the box office. The animated flick, which features the voices of Anne Hathaway and Jesse Eisenberg, brought in $40 million to claim the number one spot. Scream 4 trailed it with $19.3 million, a significantly less opening total than previous Scream sequels (Scream 3 opened with $34.7 million back in 2000).

Easter bunny kids' movie Hop, last week's box office winner, came in third with $11.2 million. Fourth place was claimed by inspirational surf film Soul Surfer with $7.4 million, and the top five was completed by Saoirse Ronan's action vehicle Hanna, with $7.3 million.

Russell Brand was his own biggest competitor at the box office this weekend, as his new film Arthur was bested by his animated flick, Hop that earned 21.6 million and took the top spot for the second week in a row. Arthur settled for second place and a lackluster $12.6 million, followed by fellow newcomer Hanna, which garnered $12.3 million.

Soul Surfer impressively nabbed the number four spot with $11.1 million in its debut weekend, while Insidious finished fifth with $9.7 million. The James Franco/Natalie Portman stoner comedy Your Highness couldn't even crack the top five in its first weekend out, settling for sixth with a meager $9.6 million.

Who says holiday movies are only for December? Russell Brand's animated bunny film Hop easily took the top spot at the box office in its opening weekend, taking in an impressive $38.1 million. Despite an SNL appearance by Jake Gyllenhaal himself, newbie action flick Source Code trailed in second with $15 million. Horror flick Insidious took third with $13.4 million, while former number one movie Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules slid to fourth with $10.2 million. Limitless clung onto a top five spot with $9.4 million.
