Morgan Freeman, Matt Damon and Sandra Bullock were forced to bow down this weekend for Disney’s first African American princess.
“The Princess and the Frog” which expanded nationwide Friday, earned $25 million to take over the top box office spot from Bullock’s “The Blind Side,” which slipped to No. 2 with 15.5 million.
Clint Eastwood’s Nelson Mandela drama “Invictus,” starring Freeman and Damon, emerged from the scrum in third place with $9.1 million.
“Frog,” the Disney animated musical, stars Anika Noni Rose as the voice of a young woman in 1920s New Orleans who’s turned into a frog by a kiss from an amphibian.
