WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Hop tops the pops with 38.1 million against a 63 million budget... and stands a decent chance of making money through Easter, despite generally bad reviews.  Source Code placed with 15 million, which seems a bit soft, though ultimately fine against a 32 million budget.  Insidious showed with 13.5 million, against a mere 1.5 million budget. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules, facing competition from Hop, tumbled 57 percent to the fourth slot with 10.2 million, but it should be profitable with a 38 million total to date against a 21 million budget.  Limitless, facing competition from Source Code, held decently, rounding out the Top Five with 9.4 million.  Below the fold, Sucker Punch plummeted 68 percent in its second weekend and looks doomed in North America. Ouch.
