'Rio' beats out this weeks' premeirs

Last weeks number one film stayed at number one this week. 'Tyler Perry's Madea's Big Happy Family' premiered this week at number 2, failing to upstage the animated hit.

'Rio' raked in 26.8 million at the box office after an already strong opening weekend. Number two, Medea brought in 25.8 million this weekend. 'Water for Elephants' came in third.

Studio executives must be celebrating with champagne over the success of 'Rio' which has helped out during a relatively slow quarter.
