The never ending box office derby crowned a new winner over the holiday weekend, according to Box Office Mojo's Brandon Gray and his latest report:

Though trailing its predecessor, 'Scary Movie 4' zapped the Easter record with an estimated $41 million, while ''The Wild'' [#4 with $9.5 million in ticket sales] was prey for 'Ice Age 2: The Meltdown'... [#2 with an additional $20 million added to its stash].

I have not seen Scary Movie 4 yet, but I got the feeling from watching the trailers and TV ads, that the film's best comedy bits were included in those previews... I could be wrong...Besides, any movie that touts Dr. Phil (comedy or not) as a cast member, and I run in the opposite direction.
