Adding over 3,400 screens to its national total, The Princess and The Frog took home $25 million in its first week of wide release. This was solid enough to best the nearest competition, The Blind Side, which took home another $15.45 million and proved it has better staying power than the meteoric Twilight Saga: New Moon, which fell to a distant fourth place ($8 million) behind newcomer Invictus ($9 million).

Overall, though, box office receipts were dismal and even The Princess and The Frog faces an uphill battle, due to its staggering $105 million budget. And despite fading fast now, New Moon has $588 million in worldwide box office to comfort itself with until Eclispe debuts this summer. That should keep everyone involved in plentiful supply of furnace filters over the winter, at any rate.
