Although "Tangled" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1" have both already cleaned up at the box office, the two fantasy flicks continue to wrangle for the top spot in theaters. And on Friday, the battle belonged to "Tangled," Disney's animated update of the classic kid's tale.
Featuring the vocal skills of Zachary Levi and songstress turned actress Mandy Moore, the flick picked up $5.1 million in theaters Friday. The family film's hefty haul now stands at about $80 million since sliding into theaters over the Thanksgiving weekend.
Far from being out of the race, "Potter" was just behind "Tangled," spending Friday in second place with $4.8 million. The latest installment of the boy-wizard saga has zoomed past the $200 million mark, ringing up an estimated $232 million since arriving on screens heralded by the typical "Potter" fan frenzy.
The musical diva-fest "Burlesque" lagged behind the kid-friendly blockbusters, coming in third place. The big hair and belting bonanza powered by pop doyenne Cher, powerhouse songstress Christina Aguilera and screen regular Stanley Tucci raked in $2 million. The movie's total estimated tally currently stands at $22.9 million.
Anna Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal's nudity-filled romantic drama "Love and Other Drugs" came in fourth place. The flick pulled in about $1.98 million, kicking off its second weekend in theaters with an estimated $18.9 million in total ticket sales.
"Unstoppable" continues to cling to a top-five slot at the box office. The train thriller trailed "Drugs" closely with $1.9 million, a figure which nudges its total haul to about $65 million.
Check out everything we've got on "Tangled," "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1" and "Burlesque."
