20th Century Fox's Ice Age: Continental Drift took the top spot at the box office with a $46M weekend debut, though notably greeted with a relative chilly reception compared to the opening receipts of the series' previous installments.
2006's Ice Age: The Meltdown boasted a $68M opening, and that was without inflated 2012 3-D ticket prices. But the latest and fourth installment was on par with 2009's Ice Age: Dawn of The Dinosaurs, which in 3D had nearly a $42 million opening. However with $339M in overseas business, Continental Drift will most likely not be the last we see in the franchise.
The Amazing Spider-Man held on strong in its second week with a $35M Friday to Saturday gross, bringing its worldwide total to $521.4 millon.
Seth MacFarlane's raunchy talking teddy bear comedy Ted continues to maintain a loyal audience in week three, scoring $22.1 million, and bringing its domestic total to $158.9 million.

Next week, all eyes are on this summer's second box office behemoth (after The Avengers), The Dark Knight Rises.
Let's not pretend anything is going to stand in its way, the Warner Bros. accountants will have their work cut out for them starting on July 20th. The Dark Knight opened to over $158 million in 2008 (eventually grossing over a billion worldwide), and the conclusion to Christopher Nolan's epic Batman trilogy will also playing heavily in IMAX, with over 70 minutes of the film shot in the supersize format.
