Four new releases failed to put much of a dent in Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. The film fell just 46.6% in its second weekend (a respectable decline for a blockbuster), grossing an estimated $62 million from 3,728 theaters. The four new releases were led by the disappointing Green Zone (est. $14.535M) and followed by She’s Out of My League (est. $9.6M), Remember Me (est. $8.3M) and Our Family Wedding ( est. $7.6M). Alice in Wonderland out-grossed the combined weekend box office of those four new releases by nearly $22M ($62M vs. $40.035M).
Rounding out the top 5 was Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island which finished in fifth place and ahead of Our Family Wedding with an estimated $8.14M, pushing its 24-day domestic cume to a respectable $108.008 million. The bottom five was anchored by Avatar with an estimated $6.6M. Despite shedding another 445 theaters — the film is now playing in just 1,718 theaters — Avatar only declined by 18.7% this weekend. Total domestic cume for the film now stands at $730.344 million. Head on over the jump for the weekend chart.
