�Madagascar 3� romps over Cruise, Sandler films

LOS ANGELES, JUNE 18: The animals of �Madagascar 3: Europe�s Most Wanted� held the top spot on U.S. And Canadian box office charts for a second straight weekend with $35.5 million, beating new films from Tom Cruise and Adam Sandler, according to studio estimates yesterday. The third �Madagascar� movie about the misadventures of escaped zoo animals lifted the animated family film above new release �Rock of Ages,� a 1980s-era musical starring Cruise that was No. 3, and comedy �That�s My Boy,� which landed with a thud at No. 5 in what box office watchers said was the worst opening for a live-action Sandler movie since 1996�s �Happy Gilmore.� (AGENCIES)
