It's not that great actually, Avatar had a very mediocre opening. Alice in wonderland will probably make around 600 million, won't beat The Dark Knight though. You wanna see some big openings look at movies like Harry Potter or Spider-Man.

Are you guys serious?

Gilgamesh, Alice in Wonderland had a better opening weekend than ALL Harry Potter movies...

 

And movies are not like video games. It will do much more than 600 million.

 

I don't know if you guys are making jokes, hating the movie for whatever reason or y'all just cuckoos...

Look at the facts. The movie, for his genre, is doing more than awesome and no one expected such huge numbers.

....uhh you really should take a look at this website. Trust me I follow movie numbers just as much as I do VG Chartz numbers I know what I'm talking about when I said 600 million.

Here's a list of all time opening weekends, Alice is at 14th place.

Take a look at this webiste, it'll teach you a lot. www.boxofficemojo.com

 

*facepalm*

That's worldwide...

I was talking about domestic.

And I take all my sources from boxofficemojo myself.

Yeah, let's only count Domestic gross for no good reason.

That makes perfect sense.

*Facepalm*

Well that's how it works montanahatchet.

I don't know why but every article I read on movie websites are only mentionning domestic gross and that's what boxofficemojo is taking into consideration.

Deal with it already.
