Disney's "Enchanted" Opens Strong at Box Office

 

Amy Adams in Enchanted film
U.S. film audiences are continung to make it clear that their preference these days is for politically neutral films that send a positive message.

The new Disney comedy Enchanted opened well over Thanksgiving weekend, earning over $50 million at the U.S. box office, finishing number one for the period.

It's a charming and amusing picture with some good meaning behind it and deserves success.

Finishing second, with a total take of $27 million, was This Christmas, a holiday comedy-drama with an African-American cast, which has received generally poor reviews.

Beowulf came in third, taking in $16 million between Friday and Sunday. The new action film Hitman was fourth, bringing in $13 million from Friday to Sunday and $21 million for the five-day period. Bee Movie is still buzzing along, in fifth place with a three-day take of $12 million.

The Coen brothers' bleak but interesting and thoughtful film No Country for Old Men, now in wide release, finished tenth.

S.T., I actually heard that there was a documentary about Jimmy Carter by Joanthan Demme called Man From Plains. How did it do at the box office?
