( EW.com ) -- Spider-Man has been knocked off ... and not by The Lizard . Fox 's `` Ice Age : Continental Drift , '' the fourth film in the animated franchise , won the weekend with an estimated $ 46 million opening at the box office . The family-friendly flick bowed in 3,881 theaters and earned an $ 11,853 per-theater average over the Friday-to-Sunday period . The film has already made roughly seven times that much in foreign territories . Compared to the previous installments in the `` Ice Age '' series , `` Continental Drift '' fell smack dab between the second and third film 's openings . And thanks to an bullish `` A- '' grade from CinemaScore , `` Continental Drift '' should get some strong word of mouth and hold up well with younger audiences and their parents . In second place , Peter Parker & Co. spun $ 35 million over the weekend , a drop of 43.6 percent . If weekend estimates hold , the Sony tentpole will cross the $ 200 million mark , landing at $ 200.9 million . Psychologically at least , that 's an important threshold for `` The Amazing Spider-Man '' -- especially with Bruce Wayne on deck at the multiplex . Taking the bronze for the weekend was `` Ted '' â€ ” Universal 's Mark Wahlberg/Mila Kunis/talking bear comedy . The film scored a strong third week haul of $ 22.1 million , dropping just 31.2 percent â€ ” thanks in part to the fact that it added 47 playdates . Its total domestic take is now $ 158.9 million . In fourth , `` Ice Age 's '' main 'toon challenger , `` Brave , '' stayed strong adding $ 10.6 million more to its quiver . Its four-week total is now $ 195.5 million , which means it should cross the $ 200 million mark by next weekend . Rounding out the top five is Warner Bros. ' stripper comedy `` Magic Mike . '' The Channing Tatum flick bumped and grinded for $ 9 million in its third frame , edging out Oliver Stone 's `` Savages , '' and bringing its total to $ 91.8 million . One notable performance bubbling under the top 10 was this summer 's indie critical darling , Fox Searchlight 's `` Beasts of the Southern Wild , '' which jumped from No . 21 to No . 16 after quadrupling the number of the theaters it was in . The film earned $ 775,000 on 81 screens for a terrific $ 9,568 per-screen average â€ ” second only to `` Ice Age '' in the top 20 . See the full article at EW.com .
