LOS ANGELES (AP) — Wisecracking zoo animals held off ’80s rockers and overgrown adolescents to maintain the top spot at the box office this past weekend.

The animated family comedy “Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted” from Paramount and DreamWorks Animation made just more than $34 million in its second weekend in theaters for a total of $119 million, according to final studio figures Monday. It topped newcomers “Rock of Ages,” the Warner Bros. musical which debuted with $14.4 million, and “That’s My Boy,” an Adam Sandler comedy from Columbia Pictures, which opened with $13.5 million.
