Tim Burton&#8217;s Alice in Wonderland, which stars Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, and the voices of Stephen Fry and Michael Sheen, scored a fantastic $31,196 per screen average at 3,728 sites, taking in a total of $116.3 million this weekend according to figures found at Box Office Mojo. That&#8217;s good news for Disney, which spent approximately $200-$250 million on the film &#8212; not including prints and advertising expenses. 
Antoine Fuqua’s Brooklyn’s Finest earned  an estimated $13.5 million, or about  ten percent less than some early  predictions. At a distant #2, the cop  drama [...]]]></description>

Matt Lucas, Mia Wasikowska in Alice in Wonderland

Alice in Wonderland decimated the competition on Friday, earning  $41 million  and an outstanding $10,998 per screen at 3,728 sites, according to estimates found at Box Office Mojo. Though $4 million short from early reports, Tim Burton’s  version of Lewis Carroll’s fantasy is expected to gross around $110 million over the weekend.
As expected, Avatar dropped out of North America&#8217;s top-five on Friday, ranking  #6 with only $1.97 million. Among the top-ten holdovers, James Cameron’s sci-fier posted &#8212; by far &#8212; the smallest increase from the day before, a mere 19.9 percent. Despite the Oscar weekend and its nine  nominations, Avatar has suffered badly because Alice in Wonderland now [...]]]></description>

Alice in Wonderland, Tim Burton&#8217;s revamping of Lewis Carroll&#8217;s fantasy, has decimated the competition at the Friday box office, reports Nikki Finke at Deadline.com. The film grossed an estimated $45 million on Friday, a staggering amount that easily beat Avatar&#8217;s opening day take  (which was affected by a winter storm that covered much of the Eastern US). [Updated Alice in Wonderland box-office report.]
Finke estimates that Alice in Wonderland may gross between $115-$120 million over the weekend &#8212; vs. Avatar&#8217;s $77 million &#8212; which  would make it both the biggest March release and the biggest 3D debut ever. To date (not adjusted for inflation), the best opening weekend at the North American box office belongs to Christopher Nolan’s The [...]]]></description>

Damon Wise in the London Times:
&#34;Written by the team responsible for the similarly dark Bad Santa and  based on a true story, I Love You Phillip Morris is an extraordinary film  that serves as a reminder of just how good [Jim] Carrey [above, with Ewan McGregor] can be when he&#8217;s not tied  into a generic Hollywood crowd-pleaser. His comic timing remains as  exquisite as ever, but this is not a loveable rubber-faced rogue. One could  argue that, like The Truman Show, this is another film about a lost  naif, but when it plays its final hand, I Love You Phillip Morris is  really much, much stranger.&#34;
