Top 10 Movies at the Weekend Box Office, 17APR2011: Rio

Moviegoers flocked to Rio but fled from Scream 4 over the weekend. Thanks to Rio and some decent holdovers, though, this was the first genuinely up weekend year-over-year since early November, boasting an eight percent increase over 2010, when Kick-Ass and How to Train Your Dragon were on top.
