'Hop' Beats 'Arthur' at Weekend Box Office

9:07 AM PDT 4/10/2011 by Pamela McClintock

UPDATED: "Rio" scores best opening of 2011 of any film anywhere; "Hanna" and "Soul Surfer" overperform domestically.

The biggest box office headline of the weekend was overseas, where 20th Century Fox’s toon Rio opened to $55 million to score the top debut of 2011 for any title anywhere. In the U.S., Russell Brand’s new comedy Arthur lost badly to holdover family film Hop -- which the British actor voices - -and, in a last-minute upset, lost to Focus Features' Hanna as well.
