From left: Nico (voice: Jamie Foxx) and Blu (voice: Jesse Eisenberg) in Rio.20th Century Fox Film Corp. / Everett Collection by [Richard Corliss](https://time.com/author/richard-corliss/) Apr 17, 2011 4:00 AM UTC The cartoon birds soared; the slashers got diced and sliced. _Rio_, the 3-D animated feature about two macaws that fall in love during a Brazilian carnival, flew tantalizingly close to an elusive box-office ceiling with an announced first weekend of $40 million, according to early estimates by the movie’s producers, 20th Century-Fox and Blue Sky Studios. That number was more than double the take of _Rio_‘s nearest competitor _Scre4m_, The Weinstein Company’s reboot of its ’90s horror comedy franchise. If the _Rio_ figure is confirmed Monday, when the final actual weekend tallies are issued, it will mark the first time in 2011 that a film has earned as much as $40 million in a weekend — a number that was exceeded nine times in the same period last year. What’s certain is that this weekend’s box-office total will be higher than the same frame in 2010 for only the second time in this slumping year. [(See Richard Corliss’s review of the high-flying _Rio_.)](https://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,2065282,00.html) \[**MONDAY UPDATE:** In fact, _Rio_ did not hit $40 million, according to final figures released today. It and most of the other films in the top 10 ended up below their estimates. In the Monday tally, _Hanna_ leapfrogged over _Soul Surfer_; and _The Conspirator_, whose weekend gross was overreported by more than 10%, fell from ninth place to 11th, behind _Your Highness_ and _Limitless_. The actual numbers for the top-earning dozen films are: 1\. _Rio_, $39.2 million; 2\. _Scre4m_, $18.7 million; 3\. _Hop_, $10.7 million; 4\. _Hanna_, $7.28 million; 5\. _Soul Surfer_, $7.27 million; 6\. _Arthur_, $7.755 million; 7\. _Insidious_, $6.745 million; 8\. _Source Code_, $6.2 million; 9\. _Your Highness_, $4 million; 10\. _Limitless_, $3.7 million; 11\. _The Conspirator_, $3.5 million; 12\. _The Lincoln Lawyer_, $2.9 million.\] Attracting audiences of all ages, and winning a gold-star A rating in the CinemaScore poll of exiting moviegoers, _Rio_ added the U.S. and Canada to the list of countries it has conquered. Since its world premiere Mar. 22 in, where else, Rio de Janeiro, the film has earned a gaudy $132.7 million abroad. That echoes the success of Blue Sky’s 2009 _Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs_, which amassed nearly 80% of its $886.7-million worldwide gross on foreign shores. Thanks in part to government concessions in Blue Sky’s tax-shelter home base of Connecticut, _Rio_ was produced for a relatively thrifty $90 million; the budgets for Pixar movies often top $200 million, and Disney’s long-gestating _Gnomeo & Juliet_ cost about a quarter-billion dollars. With the 3-D surcharge, it’s likely that _Rio_ had fewer paying customers its first weekend than did the 2-D quasi-cartoons, _Rango_ (which opened to $38.1 million) and _Hop_ ($37.5 million). The Easter Bunny comedy had been No. 1 for the last two weekends, but what was billed as the battle of feathers vs. fur was a massacre: the birds of _Rio_ earned nearly four times as much as the wascally wabbit voiced by Russell Brand. And with Easter and spring-break vacations approaching, _Rio_ should enjoy the highest-flying weekdays of the year. So there’s moderate merriment in Tinseltown, except at The Weinstein Company. _Scre4m_— the fourth entry in the Kevin Williamson-Wes Craven horror comedy series, and the first in 11 years — opened more to a whimper than to a bloody bang. Forecast to register in the mid-to-high $20 millions, _Scre4m_ exhausted its fan base Friday night, taking a 19% dive on Saturday (while _Rio_‘s numbers jumped 65%). Since horror films tend to be one-weekend phenomena, it’s entirely possible that the R-rated _Scre4m_, which cost around $40 million to produce, will end up grossing less than the spooky, microbudgeted _Insidious_. That PG-13 atmospheric horror film, made for a bit more than $1 million, has earned an outsize $36 million in its first 17 days and is showing remarkable staying power. [(See TIME’s review of _Scre4m_.)](https://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,2065413,00.html) The Weinstein film has plenty of comely teens getting eviscerated; but the real victims this year have been movies, like _Scre4m_, designed to appeal to the young-male audience. Once the most reliable demographic of filmgoers, it is suddenly the hardest to reach, whether because of mediocre product or a seismic change in how guys in their teens and 20s want to spend their pocket money and free time. The debut in two weeks of _Fast Five_ — fifth in the _Fast and Furious_ car-crazy series whose first four episodes have earned $955.5 million at the worldwide box office — will go a long way toward determining if the testosterone set can be lured back into movie theaters in time for the summer’s would-be blockbusters. So who’s left to go to movies? Kids and their parents, and teen and tween girls. Families flock to _Rio, Rango, Gnomeo_ and _Hop_, while the pre-teen females patronize _Justin Bieber: Never Say Never_ ($72.8 million) and their elder sisters line up to see Ashton Kutcher woo Natalie Portman in _No Strings Attached_ ($70.7 million), the only R-rated hit comedy of the year to date. Two of this week’s top five entries are also femme faves: _Soul Surfer_, the Christian-themed, true-life sports inspirational about the return to competitive glory of a one-armed surfer girl; and _Hanna_, a teen-assassin melodrama featuring 17-year-old Saoirse Ronan. Because their stars are young and expectations limited, these movies are cheap to make — $18 million for _Soul Surfer_, $30 million for _Hanna_ — so the payback is faster and bigger. You’re likely to see more of these and fewer of the rowdy R-rated bromances. [(See Richard Corliss’s thoughts on the cool chameleon in _Rango_.)](https://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,2056715,00.html) In Indieland, where the NPR crowd goes for its cinematic haute cuisine, _The Conspirator_ broke into the weekend’s top 10 with $3.9 million at 707 theaters. This courtroom drama, directed by Robert Redford, might have been called _The Lincoln Lawyer_; it’s a fact-based story, set in 1865, of a young attorney (James McAvoy) defending Mary Surratt (Robin Wright) on the charge that that she harbored the men who killed Abraham Lincoln. Made for about $25 million, _The Conspirator_ had a strong per-screen average of $5,500\. One other film in limited release boasted an even burlier per-screen average of $5,600\. That was perhaps the year’s most improbable production: _Atlas Shrugged Part I_, an adaptation of the 1957 Ayn Rand novel that has long been deemed “unfilmable” — and if you want proof, see this version. Yet there’s a market for the movie, since Rand’s Objectivist philosophy has found powerful adherents in federal and state governments, in right-wing think tanks and in the mythical but influential country of Glennbeckistan. Finishing 14th this week with $1.7 million in just 300 theaters, _Atlas Shrugged_ may vie with _Soul Surfer_ to be the year’s top out-of-nowhere, niche-audience hit. Here are the Sunday estimates of this weekend’s top-grossing pictures in North American theaters, as reported by Box Office Mojo: 1\. _Rio_, $40 million, first weekend 2\. _Scre4m_, $19.3 million, first weekend 3\. _Hop_, $11.2 million; $82.6 million, second week 4\. _Soul Surfer_, $7.4 million; $20 million, second week 5\. _Hanna_, $7.3 million; $23.3 million, second week 6\. _Arthur_, $6.94 million; $22.3 million, second week 7\. _Insidious_, $6.86 million; $36 million, third week 8\. _Source Code_, $6.3 million; $37 million, third week 9\. _The Conspirator_, $3.9 million, first weekend 10\. _Your Highness_, $3.9 million; $15.95 million, second week [See TIME’s 140 best Twitter feeds.](https://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/0,28757,2058946,00.html) [See TIME’s Top 10 Everything of 2010.](https://www.time.com/top10) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/archive/6911526/box-office-rio-bravo-but-scre4m-soft/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/archive/6911526/box-office-rio-bravo-but-scre4m-soft/"},"headline":"Box Office: Rio Bravo, But Scre4m Soft","datePublished":"2011-04-17T04:00:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-22T16:28:33.284Z","description":"The cartoon birds soared; the slashers got diced and sliced.
