Due to the fact that Scream 4 and Rio were opening at the box office during the same time period, most people had been anticipating that the latest installment in the ‘Scream’ franchise would have a huge opening. Well, no doubt the horror film opened quite impressively, yet ‘Rio’ managed to step ahead of the latest Scream film, by doubling Scream 4’s debut and scoring 2011’s biggest opening at the Box office.

The animated film which has created quite a buzz at the box office and is raging all across the globe at the moment, stars the voices of Jesse Eisenberg and Anne Hathaway. The film was given a G-rating and would certainly prove to be an attraction for the young and even their families to tag along and enjoy. The film plot follows macaw that is sort of domesticated and therefore decides to set off on an adventure, leaving for Rio de Janeiro. The film received a lot of appraisal and positive reviews which means that it will indeed be worth watching. In fact the film’s box office success is proof enough, how much the children and their families would enjoy watching this animated film.

While the film had a box office debut of $40 million in North America, the film managed to pick up pace and earned a $50.8 million success in overseas film markets. In fact ‘Rio’ has had a second week of success, having made $160 million, at the global market and the box office which is really very surprising.
