WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: For now, it's Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen in a photo finish over the first Saturday July 4th since 1998, with each pulling in an estimated 42.5 million.  Despite the havok of the holiday, the robots have pulled in 293.5 million in 12 days in the US.  Ice Age 3 had a three-day take of 42.5 million, and 67.5 million since Wednesday, slightly better than expected.  Public Enemies debuted in the third slot with 26.1 million (and 41 million since Wednesday).  That's pretty good, given the holiday and the fact that it's a period piece, though it could use a good second weekend against its 100 million budget.  The Proposal dropped to fourth place, but the drop was amere 31 percent; it has pulled in 94.2 million on a 40 million production budget.  The Hangover rounds out the Top Five with another 10.4 million; it should outgross Wedding Crashers (209 million) by next weekend.
