No surprise that 007 scored high at the box office this weekend, followed by those crazy kids in “Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa.” And those little pups in “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” are still hanging in there at No. 10. Go, puppies! Here are the numbers from Box Office Mojo:

That crazy quartet of animals scored high at the box office this weekend in “Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa.” The cruder — but still sweet — “Role Models” came in second, and “Eagle Eye” is still hanging in there at the bottom!
