Even though it has yet to play in the US, Blue Sky Animation’s Rio scored a big win around the world to win the foreign box office[1], Variety is reporting. The musical comedy had the best opening ever for an animated movie in Brazil–which is where the film takes place–, and a worldwide weekend total of $55 million. Meanwhile in the states, Universal’s Hop won its second domestic weekend in a row–becoming the first movie of the year to stay on top for more than one week–with a take of $21 million.
