Topping the charts this weekend was Scream 4, generating £2.1m. Despite the disappointing results in the US, it seemed to fare more positively in the UK, tracking just shy of Scream 3′s £2.4m opening back in 2000. Despite the good weather cinema admissions remain steady with the added boost from the Easter school holidays.

Family favourite Rio held well in its second weekend, dropping only -16% with an income to date of £5.5m. Newcomers to the screen, Your Highness and Red Riding Hood entered the chart at 3rd & 4th to round up the top 4.

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).

Johnny Depp dominates the big screen again in his new family flick Rango. Opening to a respectable £1.6m on its debut weekend, the animated Western went straight to the top of the UK box office, holding off stiff competition from The Adjustment Bureau and Unknown.

Euro-thriller Unknown followed closely in third place grossing £1.35m, whilst The King’s Speech rises again to fifth place on the back of its recent Academy Awards success.
