Rio also holds the distinction of having the biggest box-office opening (domestically) this year.    Coming in a distant second was Scream 4, with a take of $19.3 million.  Plummeting in its second week of release was the James Franco/Danny McBride/Natalie Portman comedy Your Highness, which limped to 10th place and earned a meager $3.89 million (a 58% drop from its first week).   Here’s a list of the top 10 films:
