Friday Box Office: Rio Still Soaring At Number One, Madea Looking A Little Tired

The high-flying birds of Rio stayed aloft in first place again, winning the Friday night box office crow, while Madea’s Family managed a rather soft second place opening night. The animal family of Water For Elephants notched a third place opening while the awwwww…. so cute! kitties of African Cats strode in at fifth place. Your Friday box office is here.

Atlas Shrugged, Conspirator Get Political in Search For Box-Office Respect

Rio might have flown away with number one, but the real stories of the weekend box-office might be a pair of films that didn’t even make the top 10. And if their companies’ reactions are any indication, they are not done yet. But is this really just about the money?

Weekend Receipts: Rio Flips Ghostface The Bird From First Place

For the third week in a row, chatty cartoon animals ruled the box office as the birds of Rio took the top spot with a blockbuster $40 million opening. Coming in a distant second place was the 90s nostalgia curio, Scream 4 , which netted a horrifying $19 million; you’ll recall that Scream 3 had a $34 million opening weekend and that was back when ticket prices were lower and this all used to be orange groves. And speaking of wayback when, Robert Redford’s The Conspirator opened in ninth place; sorry James McAvoy! I still love you, boo!. Your weekend receipts are here.

VIDEO: Watch Thor Get Cosmic And Then Blow The Crap Out Of A Fake New Mexico Town

As far as Marvel Studios’ summer superhero movies go, it seems like there might be a clear set of preconceived notions already coagulating into stone. Captain America ? Looks like it might be a retro-adventure movie like Indiana Jones ! X-Men: First Class ? The trailer looked cool, but the posters are objectively vomit-inducing, so we’re cautiously optimistic. Thor , on the other hand, seems to have already been declared DOA by the geek brigade. But this behind the scenes look on the set in New Mexico might start to change their minds.

SNL Scorecard: Other Than Helen Mirren’s Breasts, A Very Flat Night

There’s really no way to soften the blow here: Helen Mirren’s turn as Saturday Night Live host was a massive disappointment. Flat, flat, flat… everything the whole night — well, except her breasts in one sketch — was flat. Resorting to the tired and meta ” SNL isn’t funny anymore” jokes as early as the cold open reveals a staff that appears to be looking ahead to its three-week break ( SNL , thankfully at this point, doesn’t return until May 7). So, yeah, enjoy your break, guys. Please think of something funny while you’re gone. Meanwhile, on to a very depressing scorecard…

Weekend Receipts: Hop’s On Top Again, Your Highness Has A Schwaggy Sixth Place Debut

The Bunny reigned supreme again as Hop grabbed the top spot for a second weekend, but at the expense of Russell Brand’s other comedy, Arthur , which could only muster a distant second place finish. In fact, when final number come rolling in tomorrow, it may be beaten out by Hanna , which notched a very close third place, followed by inspirational stump film Soul Surfer . And poor Your Highness came in at 6th, proving perhaps that a little Danny McBride goes a long way. Your weekend receipts are here.

Tyler Perry is a Hero: Homebuilding Edition

Movieline’s favorite purveyor of black stereotypes, Tyler Perry, has secured himself a place in heaven this week by tackling his own real-life house of pain project. The prolific writer/director/playwright rebuilt and furnished a home for an 88-year-old woman who lost her Georgia house in a fire a week before Christmas. After hearing about the story, Perry vowed to reconstruct the dwelling for her and her seven grand- and great-grandchildren who live with her. Perry and the family celebrated the finished product with a ceremony today in Coweta County. Congratulations. [ AP ]
