Mar 8 2010'Alice in Wonderland' Cleans Up Box Office
1. Alice in Wonderland - $116.3 million. Biggest weekend for a Tim Burton film; biggest weekend for a March opening; already highest grossing film released this year; and film most likely to be talked about at the "weird kids table" in your middle school.
2. Brooklyn's Finest - $13.5 million. I think it could have done better if it was a double feature, maybe opening with Blade 2 or Passenger 57 as a refresher to remind everyone who Wesley Snipes is.
3. Shutter Island - $13.3 million, making it an overall strong weekend for popular-directors-and-their-male-muse films.
4. Cop Out - $9.1 million. Kevin Smith better lodge himself in a subway turnstile or something to get some attention back to this thing.
5. Avatar - $7.7 million. Expect a boost this weekend as theater-goers flock to see the winner of Best Art Direction.

I can't believe Alice in wonderland is killing the box office. This is absolutely amazing.

I can believe it. If Facebook is any indicator everyone I know saw it twice this weekend and thought it was incredibly "alright".

Simply more feeding of Johnny Depp's narcissism - and that there actually *is* one born every minute, and they like to see over-hyped films.
