MTV: Box Office Report


Hollywood accountants got just what they needed from two little bluebirds over the weekend as "Rio" enjoyed the biggest debut of any movie in 2011 thus far. The latest animated outing from the company behind the "Ice Age" franchise, about a pair of endangered South American birds, beat the weekend openings of rival kid flicks "Rango" and "Hop" with its estimated $40 million weekend.

Meanwhile, the first "Scream" movie in 11 years fell well below expectations with its $19.2 million opening. "Scream 4"'s combination of returning castmembers Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courtney Cox and a cast of younger newcomers wasn't enough to beat the debuts of either of the other sequels to the 1996 original.
