The 3-day tally is enough to put it ahead of Valentine’s Day ($106.42M) as the highest-grossing film of 2010. ‘Alice’ was helped significantly by 3D and IMAX, which accounted for about 70%, or over $80M of its opening weekend, topping the previous $55M record set by Avatar. The film grossed an estimated record $11.9M (included in the $80M tally) from just 188 IMAX venues (an incredible $63,197 per site). The previous best for IMAX was Avatar‘s $9.5M from 178 sites. Box Office Mojo estimates that combined, the 3D and IMAX ticket premiums over normal prices added about $22M to Alice‘s gross. Worldwide receipts were also strong, $100.5M from 6,455 sites in 40 territories (for a per-screen average of $15,569) putting its opening weekend worldwide cume at $216.601 million. Head on over the jump for more analysis and the weekend chart. Update: Click here for the final actual weekend numbers. Original article follows below. Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland opened to an estimated $116 million, the biggest opening ever for Burton (crushing the $68.533M opening of 2001’s “Planet of the Apes”) and the best-ever opening debut for a 3D film (eclipsing the $77.025M for Avatar). Buoyed by 3D and IMAX, Alice in Wonderland opened on Friday to an estimated $41M and grew 8.1% to $44.325M on Saturday. Disney is projecting a 30.1% decline on Sunday to $30.975M. That translates to a per screen theater average of $31,196. The 3-day tally is enough to put the film ahead of Valentine’s Day ($106.42M) as the highest-grossing film of 2010. 3D and IMAX was clearly a factor in ‘Alice‘s huge opening, as the film grossed a record $11.9M from just 188 IMAX venues (an incredible $63,197 per site) and 3D (2,063 of the 3,728 theaters were 3D) contributed a record estimated $76M. Worldwide receipts were also strong, an estimated $94M from 5,600 sites in 40 territories (for a per-screen average of $16,786) putting its opening weekend worldwide cume at an estimated $210.3 million.

Marking not only Kevin Smith’s first film he didn’t also write, Cop Out is now the biggest opening (single day and weekend) in his career as a director. Cop Out and The Crazies had nearly identical Friday’s ($5.948M & $5.981M, respectively), but Cop Out pulled ahead with a stronger Saturday ($7.742M vs. $6.347M for The Crazies) and Sunday ($4.521M vs. $3.739M for The Crazies). However, The Crazies played in fewer theaters and therefore had a considerably stronger per theater average of $6,489 (2,476 theaters) vs. a PTA of $5,781 for Cop Out (from 3,150 theaters). The other big news this weekend is that Avatar broke $700 million. Now in its 11th weekend of release (top 5 in each weekend), the James Cameron-directed sci-fi 3D epic continues to live up to its billing, adding $13.655 million (down just 15.9%) which brings its 73-day domestic cume to $706.56 million. Avatar broke $700 million on Saturday (its 72nd day). Worldwide, Avatar remained in 1st place for its 11th consecutive week (a streak that will come to an end next weekend courtesy Alice in Wonderland) and is sitting at an extraordinary $2.546 billion worldwide ($1.839B of which comes from overseas grosses).
