Ice Age 4 isn't going to be the biggest-grosser in the franchise, but Sony should still be pleased that they were able to get this haul as the third animated movie in six weeks to open. (Why didn't they publicize Peter Dinklage is one of the voices? Too niche?)

Spider-Man has already hit $200 million domestic. It won't get to $300 million, but a sequel is more than justified. Good thing, because they've already scheduled it for 2014.

Brave and Madagascar 3 will both pass $200 million.  Good for them.
