Though the British scourge's movies went number one and number two this weekend, they were mostly number two. At least there's good news for that little assassin girl this weekend, plus it was good news for Jesus, because it really almost always is.

1) Hop — $21.6M
 Well. America. Two weeks in a row, huh? Hop. A live-action/CGI hybrid about the Easter Bunny with the voice of Russell Brand being a human-woman-crazy slacker from Easter Island (right) who goes to live with a man who doesn't immediately put his head in the oven after seeing and communicating with said Brand-voiced, horny Easter Bunny. This is your two-time hit, folks. And don't say "Well you don't have kids." Because if I had kids, I would never in a million years take them to see this. It's OK for you to have standards for your kids! Do you think my parents took me to see every movie with a crotch hit in the preview (the crotch hit seems to have been the number one go-to kids joke in the late '80s and early '90s) just because it was "for kids"? No! Of course not. But, I guess I understand that sometimes you might feel desperate and simply need to get them out of the house and sitting somewhere quietishly, so I guess I can't really fault you. But it's hard not to. It really is. Hop, guys. Hop. I mean, there's a person from The Big Bang Theory in this movie. Have you no decency?

2) Arthur — $12.6M
 Aha. So not only was Brand a creative failure this weekend, he was an economic one. His big starring-role movie vehicle kinda clunked at the ol' box office, leaving some to wonder whether Brand is, in fact a movie star. Wait, was that really something we were considering? Has the concept of "movie star" been so compromised? Wait, yes, of course it has. What a depressing morning for the movies. While Arthur's debut fell below industry expectations, I'm personally surprised it even made this much! Brand's fanbase is mostly too young to have seen the original Arthur, right? I mean, it'd be like remaking Being There with Seann William Scott and expecting teenage boys to go see it. Why would that happen? You're outta your minds, Hollyweird!

3) Hanna — $12.3M
 On 700 fewer screens than Arthur, this sorta arty actioner could be considered a modest hit so far. Which is good! I haven't seen it, daunted as I am by New York opening weekend crowds, but it certainly looks interesting. So good for some of us for checking out something a little bit different. Sure there are still guns and stuff, but the guns are in Berlin and shot by an oddly accented little girl. Maybe we're not all doomed. Maybe we won't be remaking Kramer vs. Kramer with Ashton Kutcher and Katie Cassidy any time soon.

4) Soul Surfer — $11.1M
 A Christian-themed family film based on a tragic true story, this was catnip for a certain kind of American audience and performed ably. Obviously Christian God is the main winner here, but maybe this is also good news for Dennis Quaid and Helen Hunt? It's also surely a nice little vote of confidence for the burgeoning acting career of one Carrie Underwood. Will she follow in fellow Idoler Jennifer Hudson's footsteps and win a Central Ohio Film Critics Award? It's possible, it's definitely possible now. There for the grace of God go I, winning a St. Louis Gateway Film Critics Award.

6) Your Highness — $9.5M
 Oops. This $50 million stonedy (needs work) failed to capture hearts, minds, and teenage boys' sweaty dollar bills, despite the presence of Danny McBride for farty chuckles, Natalie Portman for jeans-chafed boners, and James Franco for the secretly questioning ones in the group. If a movie with all that, plus weed jokes and swears, can't connect with its target demo, then I just don't know what can. Maybe that remake of Breaking Away with Shia LaBeouf and Blake Lively will do the trick?
