Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa is a Roaring Success

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, featuring the voices of Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer, Jada Pinkett Smith and Sacha Baron Cohen, was king of the jungle this past weekend, grossing an impressive $63.5 million. Trailing way behind at number two was the Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott comedy Role Models, with $19.2 million. Zac Efron and his fellow Wildcats from High School Musical 3: Senior Year were demoted to the number three spot, making $9.3 million. Following at number four was Clint Eastwood’s Changeling, starring Angelina Jolie, which brought in $7.3 million. Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno rounded out the top five with $6.5 million.
