Really must be the most wanted: In its second weekend, Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted was No. 1 again.  Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted claimed the top spot at the box office for the second straight weekend with $35.5 million, according to studio estimates from Hollywood.com.  The animated film, featuring the voices of Chris Rock, Ben Stiller, David Schwimmer and Jada Pinkett Smith, has taken in $120.5 million in 10 days.
