The question, of course, is how the Madgascar crowd holds up when the Scottish lass rides into the AMCs. I'm looking for two animated features at the top of the list, but we'll see.

Add On: As the trades inform us:

... Madagascar 3, from DreamWorks Animation and Paramount, fell less than 42 percent from its opening weekend and has earned $120.5 million in its first 10 days of play domestically and a resounding $277.5 million worldwide ...

So the magic of 3-D pays off? Or is it the comedy?
