June 8-10, 2012: Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted vs. Prometheus
Ridley Scott's Alien prequel Prometheus was one of the most-anticipated movies going in to Summer 2012, which helped it gross a very strong $51 million on opening weekend. That was only good for second place, though, as Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted opened the same weekend and earned $60.3 million on its way to a franchise-best $216.4 million.
