Weekend Box-Office >> MADAGASCAR #1

This weeks new releases weren’t powerful enough to make much of a dent. The animated MADAGASCAR managed to snag first place in it’s sophomore week. STAR WARS EPISODE III was barely edged out of 2nd place by THE LONGEST YARD. This weekend SWIII became the 18th highest grossing movie of all time. It should enter the top 10 by next week. CINDERELLA MAN opened with a disappointing $18.6 million, but seeing as the movie has been marketed to geriatrics, it should have some staying power at the box office.
