Alice in Wonderland Tops Box Office For Third Straight Week
When you think that movies can’t stay on top for more than a week anymore it seems like those such as Avatar and Alice in Wonderland like to buck the trend. While Avatar was easy to figure, I didn’t think that Alice would stay a loft the charts for more than a week, or two.
These charts shift faster than a list of car insurance companies offering a new deal. Alice in Wonderland that topped the charts, showing continued strength on its third weekend, particularly overseas. Director Tim Burton’s 3-D blockbuster hit dropped 45 percent domestically to $34.5 million and 41 percent internationally to $47 million, bringing its worldwide ticket sales total to a massive $565.8 million.
The strong overall weekend boosted total box office receipts this year 10 percent higher than at the same point last year, according to Hollywood.com.
