Weekend Box Office April 22, 2011 - April 24, 2011

We're a couple days late with this, but none the less we're delivering it to you guys finally. Rio has gone into its second week at the top of the box office, but Tyler Perry's  "Madea's Big Happy Family" came within an inch from taking the crown. Can Rio go for week #3 at the Number 1 spot ? Or will Vin Diesel's "Fast Five" drive it's way into the Top spot ??? STAY TUNED !!!

UPDATE: Top at the Box Office this past weekend !

Rio Came out as the box office victor this weekend in its "deathmatch" against the returning franchise "Scream 4" which was already in talks of possibly filming a 5th installment. I guess the star power of Rio proved to be too much, as its box office earnings is slightly more than double that of Scream 4's 1st week totals !
