WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted tops the chart with another 35 million on a mere 41 percent drop. This will be one of the sleeper hits of the summer, but will face stiff competition from Pixar's Brave next weekend.  Prometheus places again with 20.2 million on a steep 60 percent drop; it will still turn a tidy profit globally... but what might have been, eh?  Rock of Ages debuts at No.3 with 15.1 million, which seems problematic against a 75 million budget.  Snow White and the Huntsman checks into the fourth slot with 13.8 million on a likely relieving 40 percent drop; thereimagining has made 242.2 million worldwide against a reported 170 million production budget (and a larger rumored budget).  The debut of That's My Boy rounds out the Top 5 with 13 million, in which Adam Sandler begins to show he cannot turn out a 20 million opening for every awful project he does.  And against a 70 million budget, too.
