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 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.
