BOX OFFICE
'Madagascar' stars
Despite seeing its gross rise to more than $300 million in the United States and Canada, "Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith" fell to third place over the weekend behind "Madagascar" and "The Longest Yard," according to Exhibitor Relations.
"Madagascar" claimed the top spot with $28.7 million, and "The Longest Yard" took in $26.1 million. "Sith" was in a photo finish for second, doing $26 million. Ron Howard's "Cinderella Man" debuted at No. 4 with $18.6 million, below industry expectations.
"Directing Russell is like shooting on a tropical island. The weather is going to change several times a day, but you're shooting there for a reason. Sometimes those dark clouds are just what you need. And sometimes you wish it would stop raining so you can do the sunny scene."

"Today" news anchor Ann Curry is one. Island entertainer Cathy Foy is another. Someone hapa, that is.
