Universal’s family comedy Hop—the story of the Easter Bunny’s rebellious, Russell Brand-voiced son—leapt to first place at the weekend box office, taking in an estimated $38.1 million so far and putting itself on track to be the biggest weekend opener of the year. (The animated Rango earned just $39,000 less, if estimates hold.)
