The fourth installment in the Ice Age series debuted to an estimated $46 million this weekend. That’s noticeably off from 2012’s previous animated efforts The Lorax ($70.2 million), Brave ($66.3 million) and Madagascar 3 ($60.3 million). It is at least on par with the first Ice Age ($46.3 million), though it’s much lower than 2006’s Ice Age: The Meltdown ($68 million).
