Wreck-It Ralph sets new Disney record

Family film Wreck-It Ralph opened to a record-breaking $49.1 million from 3,752 theaters – the top weekend debut for a Disney Animation Studios title.

The record had been held by Tangled, which opened with $48.8 million during Thanksgiving weekend in 2010. (Opening on a Wednesday, the film grossed $68.6 million in its first five days.)

Good news considering the mayhem in the Northeast. I’ve not yet seen it (despite much pleading from my 11 year old), but everyone that I know who has said it was great.
