Fox’s latest family flick Rio flew straight into the UK top spot over the weekend grossing a total of £1.5m. The good weather did impact slightly on performance in the Box Office but with the weather forecast to cool down for the rest of the week, and with the kids off for the Easter holidays we are predicting an uplift next week.

Meanwhile sci- fi thriller Source Code is still fighting off stiff competition to maintain second place rank, closely followed by Limitless and last week’s chart topper Hop at number four.

Russell Brand’s latest big screen family adventure Hop has topped the UK box office on its debut weekend of release. The animated Easter-themed flick, co-starring James Marsden and Kaley Cuoco, raked in £1.39m to secure first place. With the school Easter holidays just around the corner, nobody would be terribly surprised if the animated “Easter Bunny” movie stays in the top 10 for a while yet.

Meanwhile Jake Gyllenhaal’s science fiction thriller Source Code also opened this weekend to second place grossing £1.3m, it ranks just behind recent sci-fi thrillers Limitless (£2.1m) and The Adjustment Bureau (£1.4m).

Last week’s number one Limitless has been pushed to number three ahead of Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch.

Grossing £2.1m in its opening weekend (including previews), Limitless starring Bradley Cooper jumped straight into the top spot over the weekend. It performed well against other recent thrillers Unknown and The Adjustment Bureau, beating even Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps‘ £1.8m debut.

Ranking second over the weekend was 3D family animation A Turtle’s Tale, grossing an impressive £1.1m, beating Ponyo’s £172K opening. This is the fourth best opening of any Optimum Releasing distributed movie, and their biggest family film opening ever.
