It's no surprise that "Madagascar 3" and "Prometheus" won big this weekend.

Combined, Dreamworks' heavily advertised kid flick and Ridley Scott's much-anticipated summer blockbuster earned more than $110 million at the box office this weekend, squashing the competition. 

Other than a steady cash flow from the top five, much stays stagnant at the box office with a few big dips with the ever-sinking "Battleship" and "The Dictator." Otherwise, "Moonrise Kingdom" gets a bump from an added 80 theater count.

Out of the top ten this week include "For Greater Glory," horror film, "Chernobyl Diaries" and Johnny Depp's "Dark Shadows" after a four-week run. 

Though out of the top ten for two weeks, "The Hunger Games" will cross the $400 million mark domestically today.

10. Bill Murray's "Moonrise Kingdom" moves up three spots from last week to join the top ten. The Romeo and Juliet-esque film about two lovers fleeing their home, brought in more than $1.5 million in week three.



9. Sacha Baron Cohen's comedy "the Dictator" falls four spots this week with $2.1 million. After a month on screen, the film has earned $55.1 million, inching closer toward its $65 million budget.



8. Universal's "Battleship" gets shot down four spots as well, earning $2.2 million. Universal's potential blockbuster has made just under $60 million of its $209 million budget.
