"Enchanted" led the boxoffice with a $34M take from Friday to Sunday.
That's smaller than the $38M first weekend of "Bee Movie". But it's five
day
Thanksgiving weekend boxoffice of $49,060,281 is the second largest for
that
holiday period ( not factoring in inflation ). Further, "Enchanted" wound
up a
huge hit with critics, with a 93% rating at Rotten Tomatoes.:

Let's see how all this strong word of mouth propels this movie.
"Bee Movie" had a good drop this weekend, maybe due to vacationing
kids.
But "Beowulf" didn't seem to have good legs judging from its 40% second
week
drop.
A couple of holiday perennials returned to IMAX.
