"Rio" Is #1 At The Box Office After Raking In $40 Million



So "Rio" indeed got the job done. Yup, after leading the Friday box office results, it finished the weekend as the #1 movie in the land after taking in a total of $40 million. Resurrected slasher franchise "Scre4m" perhaps should have stayed buried after managing only $19.3 million, which at least earned it the #2 spot.

Russell Brand's Easter bunny flick "Hop" slipped to third with $11.2 million and former "American Idol" Carrie Underwood's "Soul Surfer," took fourth place after ringing up $7.4 million. And rounding out the top five was "Hanna," which earned another $7.3 million.
