With the release of Alice in Wonderland this weekend, Avatar‘s earnings dropped more than 40% from last weekend, probably because theatres gave most of their 3D screens to Alice.
Coming in at the top, Alice made $116.3 million domestically and a total of $210.3 million worldwide. Brooklyn’s Finest and Shutter Island took the second and third spots with $13.5 million and $13.3 million, respectively, while Cop Out was in fourth with $9.145 million. Falling to fifth, Avatar made just $7.7 million.
The higher-than-expected opening for Alice was much greater than Avatar‘s $77 million opening in December, but many believe Avatar helped Alice by introducing people to 3D and making them want to see another world using the technology.
