"Scary Movie 4" Tops Box Office Easter Weekend

The "Scary Movie" franchise has been a massive cash cow for Miramax, which is better known for its critically acclaimed and popular independent films rather than broad comedy. So after three successful movies in the horror-film-spoof comedy series, it's really no surpise to see "Scary Movie 4" on the marquees of cinemaplexes across the land. And it's really no surprise that the movie had a huge opening, netting out as the No. 1 movie in terms of gross box-office receipts this past Easter weekend. But the film also distinguished itself by being the highest-grossing Easter weekend movie ever, breaking the record set by "Panic Room" a few years ago. We're talkin' $41 million for "Scary Movie 4." That's right, say it with us, kids ... Ka-chinggggg!!!
