Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch! JK!

Actually, the REAL most profitable movie of 2011 is kind of unexpected as well - James Wan's Insidious.

The independent horror flick was made for less than $1.5 million, and its global box office is already passing $50 million! Wowsa!

Insidious is on track for a final worldwide box office of between $80 and $90 million.

Still got eight months to go…should be inneresting to see if Insidious ends up being the most profitable movie of the year overall.

Then again, we know A LOT of people are excited for Fast Five…could be some competition there…

Did U see Insidious? Do U think it will come out on top as the most profitable movie of 2011?

So, who came out on top??

Russell Brand of course!

The actor/comedian is king at the box office, taking in the top two films this weekend.

Who woulda thunk it??

His animated movie Hop continued its winning streak, being the number one film for the second week in a row, bringing in $21.7 million.

His live action film, the Arthur remake, was in second place and pulled in $12.6 million despite the fact that the film had been absolutely shredded by the critics.

Cate Blanchett's Hanna, starring Saoirse Ronan, came in third place with $12.3 million. The film has been receiving positive reviews and has managed to gain a huge audience through word of mouth.

Rounding out the top five were Soul Surfer, co-starring Carrie Underwood, with $11.1 million, and the horror movie Insidious, earning $9.7 million.

So, readers, what did U see this weekend??

Happy early Easter!

Kids were jumping for joy at the movies this weekend to see bunnies poop jelly beans.

Yup, Universal's Hop debuted at the number one spot at the box office this weekend. The animated/live-action film, starring Russell Brand and James Marsden, made $38.1 million, which was better than expected.

Universal must be hopping for joy because it's the biggest opening of any other film this year so far.

Meanwhile, Jake Gyllenhaal's Source Code didn't come in first place, but it still did fairly good, opening with $15.1 million.

The inexpensive horror film, Insidious, came in third with $13.5 million.

Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch took a huge blow as it dropped 68% from the previous weekend, grossing only $6.1 million for the weekdn.

So far, that's been the biggest second-weekend drop of any movie this year.

Ouchie.

Rounding out the top five was Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules, which fell 57% and and grossed $10.2 million.
