WEEKEND BOX OFFICE:G.I. Joe Retaliation tops the chart with 41 million (and 51 million including Thursday) -- slightly less less than the 54 million debut of the 1st Joe flick, but maybe not terrible for a movie dumped on Easter weekend, depending on overseas receipts.  The Croods place with 26.5 million a 39 percent drop which is not too bad for Easter weekend. Tyler Perry's Temptation showed with 22.3 million -- about how his films tend to open -- so he's presumably going to make a pile of cash by keeping his budget low.  Olympus Has Fallen 54 percent to the fourth slot with 14 million, a victim of G.I. Joe -- but this should still break even domestically and profit overseas.  Oz the Great and Powerful rounds out the Top Five with another 11.6 million; over all, this will be a solid money-maker, but not a smash.  Below the fold, The Host debuts in sixth place with 11 million, which may result in a breakeven... but Stephanie Meyer fails to find a second Twilight.
