'Hop' Tops Weekend Box Office

Despite terrible reviews, the half-animated, half live-action comedy "Hop" topped the box office with an estimated gross of $38.1 million.

Critics hated the movie, which stars James Marsden and features the voice talents of Russell Brand, and more than 30 percent of the people who saw it gave the film an "F" in a poll conducted by BoxOfficeMojo.com
