Ben Stiller, Chris Rock and the tall guy from Friends dominated the box office this weekend with Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa raking in over $60M dollars in its debut.

After making their way from New york City to Madagascar in the original, the team finds itself in Africa, hilarity ensues.

Coming up a distant second on the weekend was McLovin's new Role Models. The Superbad legend Christopher Mintz-Plasse stars alongside Paul Rudd and Sean William Scott in the movie about two men sentenced to 150 hours of mentoring children.

Also in its debut, Role Models drew in an impressive $19.3M.

In third place on the weekend was High School Musical 3 as its overall tally now reaches $75.7M

Rounding out the top five were Angelina Jolie in the Changeling and Seth Rogan in Zack and Miri Make a Porno.
