LOS ANGELES (Reuters):

The Walt Disney family fantasy Enchanted enjoyed another fairy-tale weekend at the North American box office yesterday, but overall sales succumbed to the traditional post-Thanksgiving blues.

Enchanted, starring Amy Adams as a cartoon princess who comes to life on the mean streets of Manhattan, sold about US$17 million in tickets during the three-day period beginning Friday, leading the field for a second weekend.

Since launching on November 21 to the second-biggest Thanksgiving weekend opening ever, with US$49 million, Enchanted has earned US$70.6 million. The film will 'glide over' US$100 million, said Disney distribution President Chuck Viane, who expected it would hold up well during the holiday period.

Only one film opened in the top 10. Awake, a romantic thriller starring Hayden Christensen as a Wall Street banker who is conscious during heart surgery, flatlined at number four with US$6 million.
