It's Déjà vu all over again at the Father's Day box office, as "Madagascar 3" and "Prometheus" should retain the No. 1 and No. 2 spots domestically, but for stars Tom Cruise and Adam Sandler -- typically big B.O. draws -- the numbers are anything but familiar.

According to early Friday estimates, Warner Bros.' "Rock of Ages" is tracking in the high-teens to low-twenties for the weekend while Sandler's R-rated "That's My Boy" is in fourth place with $13 million-$16 million domestically.

Meanwhile, "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted" continues to reign in the U.S. with Paramount and DreamWorks Animation's 3D toon suiting up for a $10 million Friday and $36 million-plus for the weekend.

Fox's "Prometheus" is off 50-55% in its sophomore frame, with Ridley Scott's 3D sci-fier at an estimated $20 million-$25 million through Sunday.

BOX OFFICE: Sandler's 'That's My Boy' "bombing" with $10-12M weekend, per Friday estimates.

THR

Madagascar 3, from DreamWorks Animation and Paramount, could gross as much as $33 million to $36 million for the weekend following a $10 million to $11 million Friday, far and away the best showing of any film.

Ridley Scott's Prometheus, also entering its second frame, could post a weekend gross in the $21 million to $23 million range for 20th Century Fox.

Adam Shankman'sfilm adaptation of Broadway musical Rock of Ages -- featuring an all-star cast including Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin and Russell Brand -- is expected to gross in the $7 million range on Friday for a weekend opening of $18 million to $21 million, according to early numbers.

Adam Sandler'sR-rated summer comedy That's My Boy, also starring Andy Samberg, is likely to land at No. 4 with a weekend opening in the $14 million to $17 million range if it continues on the same pace. That's lower than many of Sandler's summer movies, although the majority of his films have been broad comedies.

Holy shit...

[Chewy]

LOL!

[Dementeleus]

WEEKEND?

Holy shit. I glanced at the number and thought, damn, that's a pretty decent Friday.

if true

[Sims]

I had to reread this three times to make sure it didn't say 10-12M Friday...

[BoxOfficeZ]

I thought that was Friday too :lol:Damn, if that number is true for whole weekend...

[baumer]

Sorry, someone else can open this when more reliable numbers come in, but this is the same guy last week that said prometheus was heading to a 27 mill Friday. I'm going out now, if another mod wants to open this when Nikki gets here, then great, but right now, this is nothing. This guy is not credible.

[baumer]

Never mind...the title is good. Sorry, my bad.Unlocked.

[Letsuseournoggin]

Wtf?? Seriously?

I won't be here this weekend so i want to post on the beginning of the madness.A 10-12M OW for an Adam Sandler summer comedy? (i know, it's R but still)

[baumer]

But this guy should not be allowed to post that.

[tonytr87]

Not surprising. No matter how many adults and young adults grew up on Sandler's earlier movies, the audience for his films ALWAYS skews younger. Which means Sandler and an R-rating do not mix. Those old enough to see it are sick of his schtick.

[ecstasy]

Variety strikes again. I'll wait for rth or Nikki.

THRhttp://www.hollywood...s-my-boy-338326

Terrible numbers for both openers. Quite good for Mad3 and Prometheus.

[Jack Nevada]

Thats hilarious. Thank god this is bombing.

[baumer]

By Sunday ROA will be 25 and TMB will be 20.

[cookie]

Holy fuck...people are actually rejecting an Adam Sandler film.

[Impact]

I knew people were over predicting. That film looked awful. (I also think Ted looks bad, I find it more immature then mature but whatever, still Magic Mike looks the worse out of all of them)

[kayumanggi]

Wow. Talk about tanking. People apparently have gotten tired.
