The Final April Weekend Derby

Now with hot, buttered Add On.

As we stagger into the summer season, cluttered with all the summer-time tent poles, we have the last b.o. of spring. And Universal has an actual live-action hit!

1. Fast Five (Universal) NEW [3,643 Theaters] Friday $33.2M, Estimated Weekend $80M

2. Rio (Blue Sky/Fox) Week 3 [3,842 Theaters] Friday $3.2M, Estimated Weekend $12.5M, Estimated Cume $101.8M

3. Madea's Big Happy Family (Tyler Perry/Lionsgate) Week 2 [2,288 Theaters] Friday $3.1M (-70%), Estimated Weekend $10.5M, Estimated Cume $41.5M

5. Prom (Disney) NEW [2,730 Theaters] Friday $2M, Estimated Weekend $5.5M ...

Rio gets pushed down to #2 by the car movie, but you do you stop the power of Vin Diesel? Meanwhile the parrot movie has an accumulation of $320 million, which is climbing nicely.

Don't forget the new animated release this weekend, Hoodwinked 2.

Looks like the general audience forgot about it too; It's expected to gross just 4 million.
