The Princess and the Frog, Disney's first old fashioned princess film in a decade, took the #1 spot at the box office this weekend, grossing a so-so $25 million.
That's a decent number for a princess movie of this caliber (Mulan grossed $22.7 million during its first week...but that was in 1998) but falls way short of the company's new CGI cash cows like Up, which had a $68 million opener.
Still, the film was able to beat out Sandra Bullock's hit movie The Blind Side, (which fell to #2 this weekend), and the new Matt Damon flick Invictus, which came in at #3.
I do miss the good ol' days of classic Disney movies, when Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and The Little Mermaid were box office titans. I think it's because of all the great songs that came from these movies, that could be sung at the top of your lungs...
