Family-friendly 'Brave,' 'Madagascar' top weekend box office

I'm disappointed to see Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom" fall out of the top 10. I saw it this weekend at Cedar Lee and thoroughly enjoyed it.

From The Associated Press:
Estimated ticket sales were for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
1. “Brave,” $66.7 million ($13.5 million international). (Review by The News-Herald's Mark Meszoros; Cast, director talk about Pixar's 'Brave' and its animated take on Scotland by The AP's David Germain)
2. “Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted,” $20.2 million ($30.1 million international). (Review by Germain)

4. “Prometheus,” $10 million ($12.7 million international). (Review by Meszoros)
