Well of the two new BIG movies that opened over the Easter weekend, the Reese Witherspoon and R-Pattz romantic goobledygook "Water For Elephants" came in... second. Behind the latest Tyler Perry thing-a-ma-jig. But over all, the poorly reviewed film (54% Rotten according to Rotten Tomatoes) eked out only third place as the animated bird flick "Rio" retained its catbird seat at #1 with another $26.8 million. "Tyler Perry's Madea's Big Happy Family" -- honestly, who writes those titles? Oh yeah... -- came in a close second with a $25.8 haul while "Water For Elephants" pulled in $17.5 million to place 3rd. In fourth was the Easter flick "Hop" with another $12.5 million and "Scream 4" absolutely confirmed its big stinking bomb status rounding out the top 5 with a mere $7.2 million.
