Twentieth Century Fox's 3D cartoon, Rio'', continues to rule the box office, grossing an estimated $10.8 million on Friday to top the domestic box office. This number is up 4 percent from a week ago, possibly thanks to massive amount of kids being out of school for Easter. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Rio ended Friday with a domestic sum of $65.2 million, and is on track to win the weekend with a gross of about $27 million. Deadline reports Tyler Perry's new movie, Madea's Big Happy Family, came in second with a wide release and its per screen average of $4,620 was the best of all the top-grossing pictures Friday. Water for Elephants, Hop, ''Scooby-Doo! The Movie, African Cats, Scream 4, Soul Surfer, Insidious and Hanna'' round out the top ten in that order.
