‘Alice in Wonderland’ dominates box office
By DPA, IANSSunday, March 14, 2010
LOS ANGELES - Director Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” was the top film in the US for a second weekend in a row, according to sales estimates released Sunday.
“Alice”, which stars Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, brought in $62 million in ticket sales for Walt Disney Co, making a total of $208.6 million in the first two weeks of its release.
Iraq war movie “Green Zone”, starring Matt Damon, opened in second place and earned a disappointing $14.5 million for NBC Universal.
In third place was “She’s Out of My League” ($9.6 million), followed by Robert Pattinson-starrer “Remember Me” ($8.28 million). Teen heart-throb Pattinson last appeared on the big screen in the “Twilight” series.
“Shutter Island” was in fifth place ($8.14 million), while “Our Family Wedding” - with America Ferrera and Forest Whitaker and about a wedding uniting black and Hispanic families - took in $7.6 million in ticket sales.
“Avatar”, the highest-grossing film of all time, was in seventh place with $6.6 million.

Who is silly enough to pay 12 bucks to go see an anti-American movie like Green Zone? Matt Damon is just a puppet for Universal, who’s owned by puppetmaster G.E. I will not only avoid any future Matt Damon movies, I won’t buy G.E. either. I bought my new Whirlpool waterheater this weekend at Lowes, just to avoid the G.E. waterheater at Home Depot. Don’t just boycott the puppet, boycott the puppetmaster too! |

even thought this movie has great reviews and dominates box office, I don’t trust that this movie is worth seeing it, but just because it is so mediated, maybe we should see it.. |

I’ve heard great reviews about the movie. I haven’t seen it but am planning to in the coming days. I’ve always been a fan of Tim Burton. |
