FWIW, Yogi Bear is due to inch past the $100 million line in North America
this weekend, which means it would be the 30th film of 2010 to cross that
milestone, which means 2010 would now have more $100 million films than
any year in history except for 2009, which had 32 such films:
2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997

LOS ANGELES - The Easter bunny has hopped into the top spot at the weekend
box office.
Russell Brand's family comedy "Hop" debuted at No. 1 with $38.1 million,
according to studio estimates Sunday.
With Brand providing the voice of the reluctant new Easter bunny, "Hop"
bound well beyond the expectations of industry analysts, who had figured
the movie would debut in the $25 million range.
Released by Universal, "Hop" matched the year's best debut, for "Rango,"
which opened a month ago with $38.1 million.
Jake Gyllenhaal's action thriller "Source Code" debuted at No. 2 with
$15.1 million. The haunted-house tale "Insidious" opened at No. 3 with
$13.5 million.
A Summit Entertainment release, "Source Code" stars Gyllenhaal as an Army
officer tracking down a terrorist bomber by entering the mind of a man
aboard a train that's about to be blown up.
"Insidious," released by Film District, features Patrick Wilson and Rose
Byrne as a couple with three young children who encounter an eerie force
after moving into a new house.
The previous weekend's top movie, "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules,"
fell to No. 4 with $10.2 million, raising its total to $38.4 million.
While "Hop" was among the year's best openings, it was unable to lift
Hollywood out of a box-office slide that has persisted since late last
year.
Overall revenues came in at $125 million, solid receipts for this time of
year. Yet that was down 30 percent from the same weekend last year, when
"Clash of the Titans" had a summer-style blockbuster opening of $61.2
million, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com.
Revenues so far this year are at $2.3 billion, off 20 percent from 2010,
which had an unusual string of hits during a typically slow season for
movie theaters.
"Even when we have a really strong weekend like this, we can't win, again
because of last year's incredible run of big weekend after big weekend
early in the year," said Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian.
Despite a slow market, "Hop" might be able to leg it out for a while at
theaters, with Easter still three weeks away. A combination of live-action
and computer animation, the movie has Brand's runaway bunny finding refuge
with a grown-up slacker (James Marsden).
"When was there ever a really, truly Easter movie like this, about the
Easter bunny that was kid friendly?" said Nikki Rocco, head of
distribution for Universal. "I don't see why it wouldn't play out up to
and including that little Easter Monday."
