Weekend Box Office: Can’t Beat Ol’ Fashioned Disney

The Princess and the Frog - Louis

It’s no surprise that The Princess and the Frog kicked ass at the box office. It’s a new Disney film with old school animation, which means that it reminds adults of their childhood and gave the new generation something to smile about without CGI or 3-D glasses.Twilight is still hanging on, but not my much. As the holidays role in, all the Oscar and Holiday films will soon take over our top ten (I can’t wait!).

Aside from that, there were no records broken this weekend at the box office. It feels like quiet before the storm, which reminds me…. we have Avatar hitting theaters next week.I wonder how big of a splash it will make.

Here are the box office numbers from this past weekend…

moviereleaseskj09 12 11 Movie Releases: Princess and the Frog, Invictus, A Single Man...

As we all know, last week was pretty uneventful in terms of new movie releases, thankfully, that all changes today. December 11th marks Disney’s return to hand-drawn animation with The Princess and the Frog, which looks gorgeous. Ever since we saw a few clips of it back at Comic-Con all signs point to Disney magic.  Peter Jackson’s new movie, The Lovely Bones, has received mixed reviews, but is beautifully shot and hey, it’s Peter Jackson! Fashion designer, Tom Ford’s new film, A Single Man, starring Colin Firth will be in limited release this wee, but is sure to grow with Oscar buzz. Finally we have Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman’s latest movie, Invictus, about the relationship between Nelson Mandela and the South African Rugby player, Francois Pienaar, after Mandela was elected President. Enjoy!

Check out the movies coming out this week…

Are Disney engagement rings cool or crazy? If there is one thing I learned from my little adventure over at D23 it’s that Disney fans take everything to the next level. There’s a fine line between enthusiastic and down right crazy, and the idea of getting married with your favorite Disney character’s ring definitely walks the line. I thought your ring was supposed to remind you of your husband’s love, not Disney’s!

In the Spring of 2010 you’ll have your choice of six different princess rings to choice from all crafted after Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Cinderella, Jasmine, Ariel and Belle. Check out all the rings and their prices below…
