Director Tim Burton’s much-anticipated 3D adaptation of Alice in Wonderland arrived at the box office with a bang on Friday. Estimates give the Disney pic a one day total of $41 million from its 3,728 theatres, putting it on a track for an opening weekend well above $100 million. That figure is high enough to crown Alice the all-time leader for a March debut while also making it the highest opening ever for a 3D feature; outstripping the $26.7 million Avatar earned on its first Friday last December. Antoine Fuqua’s Brooklyn’s Finest premiered as a distant second with $5.2 million from its 1,936 theatres, though that figure only looks unimpressive when viewed next to the giant success of Alice. Full details on Oscar weekend’s top ten when you check back here tomorrow.
| Title | Friday | Total | |
| 1 | Alice in Wonderland | $41,000,000 | $41 |
| 2 | Brooklyn’s Finest | $5,200,000 | $5.2 |
| 3 | Shutter Island | $4,000,000 | $86.5 |
| 4 | Cop Out | $3,000,000 | $26.2 |
| 5 | The Crazies | $2,500,000 | $22.8 |

Just because it made money doesn't mean it was good. I saw it, paid money, it made money off me and I didn't like it. It looked cool, but was very boring. I didn't like the story. I'd rather have seen his version of the original story.
it might not beat avatar in WW sales but it sure did do better opening lol. i wonder what jim thinks now of ALICE.
I have the same opinion as the first answerer. You can never go wrong with getting into an early Christmas spirit. A friend of mine already has her place vamped up with Christmas decorations, and she started her holiday shopping as early as the end of summer. Have fun assembling your tree
May your days be merry & bright.
