Ice Age

Consider this weekend a study of three animation companies. Temporarily forget about ‘The Amazing Spider-Man‘ and ‘Ted‘ and ‘Moonrise Kingdom.’ What do the box office numbers of ‘Ice Age: Continental Drift,’ ‘Brave‘ and ‘Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted‘ tell us about their respective studios? ‘Ice Age’ won the weekend, but is it actually a winner?

A single new movie opens in wide-release this weekend, but with a whole cavalcade of stars, you may feel like you’re getting several flicks all rolled into one.

The Wanted‘s smash hit ‘Chasing the Sun’ is used twice in the animated flick ‘Ice Age: Continental Drift,’ the fourth film in the mega franchise. The song appears in a scene and during the closing credits. That’s a big screen double dip, so it’s only fair that the boy band recut the video, featuring footage from the film.
