Transformers Toughen Up for Ice Age

For a moment there, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs looked like it might upstage Skids and the gang with a bold holiday coup for first place. But even with a 3-D surcharge padding its numbers since Wednesday, the animated Fox entry has dropped incrementally behind Transfromers: Revenge of the Fallen en route to yet another close Sunday finish. Public Enemies performed strongly as well, and a tip of the Uncle Sam hat to Warner Bros., whose firecracker The Hangover will explode past $200 million right around the time you put your burgers on the grill this afternoon. Congratulations to them, and Happy Independence Day to you!
