Mar 15 2010Visiting Wonderland Still U.S.'s Favorite Way to Escape Boring Life
Your box office top five for the second weekend in March, two-thousand and ten:
1. Alice in Wonderland - $62 million, leading the box office for a second week and inspiring Disneyland to reevaluate if the spinning teacup ride needs to be more gothic-inspired.
2. Green Zone - Only taking in $14.5 million, it seems the film was unable to overcome sounding like it's the eco-activities section of a Red Lobster kids' placemat.
3. She's Out of My League - $9.6 million, giving us a fair estimate of how many skinny white nerds forwent working out to instead watch a fantasy about a skinny white nerd expending absolutely no effort to get with a hot babe.
4. Remember Me - $8.3 million, indicating most people still won't "remember him" as anything but "that guy from Twilight."
5. Shutter Island - $8.1 million. Holy shit, I didn't have to say anything about Avatar this week. Good job, other movies.

I watched "Alice". I can't really explain its popularity, except maybe that people suck.

Alice is only making money because this movie is angled towards kids, thus more tickets can be purchased. This movie blows balls and should never have been made. @Species of course people suck.

Alice was not necessary

Alice won by default. when you have movies like ''Bourne Rip off'', ''Nerdy Teen Comedy'' and ''Twilight Guy'' what else are you gonna watch? (note: everyone's already seen Shutter and Avatar)
It wasn't really THAT bad. It was just too much like a 'Narnia' Movie.
