Avatar Falls to 7th After Thirteenth Weekend

March 14th, 2010

This weekend saw Alice in Wonderland come out on top again, with an estimated $62 million in revenue. The weekend’s new movies; Green Zone, She’s Out of My League, Remember Me, and Our Family Wedding; finished in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th, respectively, while Shutter Island squeezed into 5th place.

Avatar fell to seventh place, earning $6.6 million. The big fall in the past couple weekends have been, for the most part, due to a big decrease in screens where the film is being shown. Alice in Wonderland took many of Avatar‘s 3D screens, leading to the drops we’ve been seeing.

Alice Far Surpasses Avatar

March 8th, 2010

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.

When Will Avatar Lose the Top Weekend Spot?

MTV has begun weighing in on the question, publishing two articles about this coming weekend’s new movies and whether 3D screens will be given to Alice in Wonderland, respectively. After reading some differing opinions and seeing the releases that are coming in the next number of weeks, we at Na’vi Hometree are ready to give our thoughts on the question.
