The Princess and the Frog

Disney's animated feature "The Princess and the Frog" snatched the crown at theaters this weekend, topping N. America box office with an estimated 25 million dollars performance.

Frog drew a surprising number of unaccompanied adults. Nearly one in five moviegoers came to the theater without children, according to Disney exit polling.

According to RottenTomatoes.com, about 83% of the nation's critics recommended the movie.

"The Blind Side", the Sandra Bullock football film, took second place with 15.5 million dollars. "Invictus", Clint Eastwood's Nelson Mandela drama, took third with a disappointing 9.1 million. "The Twilight Saga: New Moon", was No. 4 with 8 million, followed by "A Christmas Carol".

Those films will be tested next week when James Cameron's "Avatar" opens. "Family movies have great legs, so we're confident," Viane says. "Avatar's going to be a tsunami, and we're going to survive it."
