As goes the steeple chase here ... so goes the steeple chase there.
... [N]ew market openings boost Universal's "Hop" to the weekend's No. 3 spot with $10.3 million.
... 3D animation title Rio flew high on the foreign theatrical circuit on the weekend with a No. 1 box office draw of $53.9 million drawn from 13,705 screens in 62 territories. ... Rio finished No. 1 overseas for the second straight weekend. ...
Universal’s Hop grossed $10.3 million overall from 5,200 playdates in 45 territories for a foreign gross cume to date of $29.4 million. It ranks No. 3 on the weekend. ...

Damn, Rio is at almost $130 million overseas in just it's second weekend? Wow. With kids out of school for spring break this coming week, this one is going to be profitable pretty damn quick. Who says great animation can't save a mediocre story?
