Audiences fell under the spell of "Enchanted," a fairy-tale romance that debuted as the No. 1 movie and led Hollywood out of its recent box-office doldrums with solid business over the Thanksgiving holiday.

Starring Amy Adams as a cartoon princess exiled to real-world Manhattan by her fiance's wicked stepmother (Susan Sarandon), Disney's "Enchanted" took in $35.3 million over the weekend and $50.05 million since debuting Wednesday, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Sony Screen Gems' family reunion holiday tale "This Christmas," whose ensemble cast includes Delroy Lindo, Regina King, Mekhi Phifer and Idris Elba, opened at No. 2 with $18.6 million for the weekend and $27.1 million since Wednesday.

This Christmas is a funny, good feeling, family movie.That Chis Brown is a talent.Regina King is always a good actress as is Miss Loretta Divine.I wonder why they don't receive the recognization as some other much less "talented" actress receive in the MSM.Go figure.

Can you imagine this thing becoming a classic like the Wizard of Oz, Fantasia or Disney's Cinderella.

It is just sad. If Disney knew this would happen to his company he would have never gotten frozen.

Amy Adams is the world's sexiest genius. She was great in a hilarious film.
