End of June Steeple Chase

As the Nikkster tells us:

Pixar’s heroine-in-the-highlands Brave will open to around $70M this weekend and $25M for today. So it’ll be an easy #1 this weekend – incredibly, Pixar’s 13th straight first place finish. That’s just about where DreamWorks Animation’s Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted opened two weeks ago for distributor Paramount ($60.3M). ...

So the question: Where does this leave Mad 3? ...

According to BO Mojo, it leaves Madabascar in the third slot for Friday, but only barely:

Friday Box Office

Brave -- $24.5 million

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter -- $6.3 million

Madagascar 3 -- $6.1 million

So as of Friday, we have the two animated features sandwiching "Honest Abe vs. the Bloodsuckers."

Add On: Mad 3 ends up at #2, with President Lincoln fading in the stretch.
