DISNEY'S animated "The Princess and the Frog" hopped over feel-good football film "The Blind Side," to take the top spot in North American box office sales in its first weekend in wide release.
The family-friendly Disney movie drew US$25 million in ticket sales. It tells the tale of a woman turned into a frog after a kiss and marks a return for the studio to hand-drawn animation.
"It's one of those classic Disney fairy tales and people just fell in love with it," said Chuck Viane head of domestic distribution at Walt Disney Co's Buena Vista unit.
The second place football film had a take of US$15.5 million.
The No. 3 movie was Clint Eastwood's Nelson Mandela drama "Invictus," which brought in US$9.1 million.
"This film has Oscar potential written all over it and should maintain solid grosses week after week," said Paul Dergarabedian, head of Hollywood.com's box office tracking division.
Vampire romance "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" dropped two slots to No. 4 with US$8 million while "Disney's A Christmas Carol" ranked No. 5.
