HOLIDAY GIVEAWAY: The Art of The Princess and The Frog

December 11, 2009 2:46 pm


The Art of The Princess and The Frog

We can’t stop giving away stuff. This time we’ve got TWO copies of Jeff Kurtti’s The Art of The Princess and The Frog from Chronicle Books.

This contest requires a bit of thought. In the comment section of this post, make your prediction for the North American box office gross for the opening weekend of The Princess and The Frog. All predictions must be made by tomorrow morning (contest closes Saturday at 11am ET/8am PT). The two people who comes closest to the actual box office figure will win copies of the book. (Note: We will be using the final box office numbers released on Monday afternoon.)

If you don’t win a copy, keep an eye out for the Chronicle ad at top of Cartoon Brew that tells you how to get 30% off and free shipping on this book from ChronicleBooks.com.

I saw a 10:20pm showing tonight (or last night, I guess, technically). Wanted to get away from all the kiddies, god bless ‘em. The theater was full. Everyone seemed to enjoy the show. Applauded. So, I’m hopeful. My vote: $46,312,454.

PRINCESS has a monopoly on original kid-friendly fare right now, but the high-grossers only raked in about 20 mil last week and with Christmas coming, the recession, and a wind coming in from the southwest, I’m going with a respectable $$$ 48.5 MILLION $$$.
