If you want to be the #1 movie at the box office several weeks in a row, make it in 3-D and charge more per ticket, a formula Avatar and Alice in Wonderland have been riding to success. Lots of people seem to want to go down the rabbit hole as Alice scored another $34.1 Million in the USA. That brings the domestic box office to $265 Million and the worldwide gross to $565 Million. Fans of the movie's director, Tim Burton, will be excited to hear he is working on a stop motion remake of The Addams Family.
Coming in a surprising 2nd place, Diary of a Wimpy Kid scored with $21.8 Million beating out the more heavily hyped The Bounty Hunter. The Aniston/Butler romantic comedy came in a close 3rd with $21 Million. Will the studio try to re-figure the totals to make it the 2nd place movie when the final numbers come out on Monday?
Diary of a Wimpy Kid already has a sequel in the works, so get ready for Diary of a Wimpy Tween. Of course, if the movies continue to perform well financially, it will all lead to Diary of a Wimpy Middle Aged Dude starring John Cusack.
