“Ice Age: Continental Drift” opened to $46m in the top slot at the box office this weekend, a solid-but-unimpressive figure that puts it well below this summer’s prior kiddie tent-poles, “Madagascar 3: Escape to Africa” and “Brave.” Whether or not the animated film ends up regarded as a domestic success or failure will largely depend on its legs. And speaking of legs, Seth MacFarlane’s R-rated teddy bear comedy “Ted” held like a beast this weekend, dropping just 31 percent. It has grossed a whopping $159m thus far (on a $50 million budget), meaning it should cross the coveted $200m threshold. That’s the first non-sequel R-rated comedy to pull off such a feat since 2009’s “The Hangover.” Get ready for “Ted 2.”
