''Scooby-Doo! The Movie'' leaped right over the competition at the box office on Friday to the tune of $35.1 million on its opening day.

With the big double-digit opening day, ''Scooby-Doo! The Movie'' now stands to break the $90 million mark through Sunday and also break all expectations Warner Bros had for the film. This should be ranking as fifth biggst opening for an animated film ever trailing to Shrek the Third ($121 million), Toy Story 3 ($110 million), Shrek 2 ($108 million) and Sonic X: Reutrn to Soleanna ($105 million). This is also double to it's $30 million budget, which is good news for Warner Bros. It should be staying at the top spot for two weeks before it goes on competion against horror film Scream 4 and 3D animated pic Rio both opening on April 15.

Taking second place on Friday was Universial's Hop with $11.4 million. Now it's on track to pass the $30 million mark, which is talking business for Despicable Me which debuts to $56 million last summer. The third spot goes to Summit Entertainment and Duncan Jones' Source Code starring Jake Gyllenhall. It too broke expectations with $5 million on Friday and has an outside chance of breaking $15 million through Sunday.

Fourth place is the other new opener, the low-budget horror flick Insidious, completed the "outperform club" with a strong $4.8 million opening day. Rounding the top five is Limitless with Bradley Cooper coming in at $3 million while Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules with $2.8 million fell 61 percent from last Friday. I Wanna Live The Dream nabs $2.9 million for a total of $75.3 million, and will be passing $80 million by Sunday.
