ALICE IN WONDERLAND Box Office: Overseas Runaway Hit




Anne Hathaway in Alice in Wonderland

Alice in Wonderland is doing extremely well overseas. In fact, like its 3D predecessor, James Cameron's Avatar, Alice in Wonderland is actually doing better abroad than domestically. While Tim Burton's 3D fantasy extravaganza suffered a 46 percent drop from the previous weekend in North America, it fell by only 24 percent overseas, grossing an estimated $76 million at 6,621 screens in 48 markets.

Alice in Wonderland was the top movie in all of those 48 territories. After ten days it has taken in a staggering $221 million, nearly 70 percent of which at 3D venues (which charge a premium). And there's more to come. Several top foreign markets, including France, China, Japan, Spain, and Brazil have yet to open the film.

Alice's current top markets are the United Kingdom ($10.8 million this weekend; $34 million total); Russia ($10.6 million; $32.2 million total); Italy ($9.3 million; $28.7 million total); and Germany ($7.1 million; $16.4 million total).

Worldwide, Alice in Wonderland has amassed $429.6 million.

The film stars Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, Crispin Glover, Matt Lucas, and the voices of Stephen Fry, Barbara Windsor, and Michael Sheen.

    We'll be seeing more and more 3D movies. That seems to be enough for people to go to the movies. I wonder how long that'll last.
