Alice In Wonderland Box Office : Despite his reputation as a representation of the mainstream of the pariah, Tim Burton is no stranger to the box office. He was more or less invented the modern weekend, when it crashed Batman all records with short-term $ 40.4 million in the opening race. He broke his own record after three years with the return of Batman, which opened with $ 45.6 million. At the time of its release (November 1999), Sleepy Hollow’s 30 million dollars for the first time was one of the largest R rated openings in the record. Two and a half later, it will record $ 68.5 million with the Planet of the Apes, which was the second highest opening weekend at that time. Oh, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory opened with $ 56.1 million in the summer of 2005. No records
were broken, but at the time was the fourth largest July for the first time and the second largest non-Harry Potter and Warner Bros. for the first time in history, behind The Matrix (91.7 million dollars). Point being, when Burton Act, which makes people want to see, it’s the most bankable director outside of the Holy Trinity for Steven Spielberg and George Lucas and James Cameron.
At the end of this week was the last visit to the record books, Alice in Wonderland, which surged to $ 116.3 million during the weekend for the first time. This is the start of the sixth-largest ever, and not to supplement larger than ever (beating Spider-Man, which appeared for thefirst time to $ 114 million in 2002). It is the largest 3D for the first time (Avatar surpass $ 77 million opening). In addition, it is the second biggest non-summer opening of the all-time behind the first $ 142 million of the Twilight Saga: New Moon. With 2.8x The surprisingly strong multiplier, with a picture for thefirst time on Friday of $ 41 million, and on Saturday $ 44.3 million (up 8%). Perhaps for the first two days leads me to believe that Sunday, an estimated 30% drop to $ 30.9 million, was underestimated to a large extent (with the Oscars being the great unknown variable), so do not be surprised if tomorrow’s final figures, but is the largest .
This is the first time, the greatest of all actors involved to save Mr. Johnny Depp. Johnny Depp now holds all three of the Mouse House for the opening of the biggest weekends, with Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest ($ 135.6 million), Alice in Wonderland ($ 116.3 million), and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End ($ 114.7 million). Collaboration between Depp and Burton has certainly been a fruitful one. Burton once in a while he was begging studios to allow him to vote favorite actor, after the curse of the Black Pearl of the studios have been all but demands that the two of them work together. And, counting $ 19 million for the first time a broad release – Corpse Bride, Depp and four of the top ten on the weekends has been the opening of Burton / Depp collaboration. For what it’s worth, and this is also the Anne Hathaway and the second $ 50 million + for the first time in three weeks.
Where the images go from here is anybody’s guess. It is no secret that I loved, instead of the movie, this is huge for the first time will definitely not be good news for those who want Burton to do more than the original and / or just plain the best films and his career entering the third quarter. Ironically, it seems certain that, after the sleepy Jerusalem (the beginning of the second-Burton act, recovering from the twin financial flops Ed Wood and Mars attacks!), Tim Burton at the weekend isthe opening inversely proportional to the quality of the movie each of them. However, this will certainly be Burton’s fourth $ 200 million + images and is likely out of Batman product, which is still the highest on record in the form of 251.1million dollars (but it needs to do 2.1x its opening weekend that the match). $ 300 million more than a question mark. I doubt that the general term of the mouth and will be toxic, such as pans, the most severe, such as mine, but I can not imagine that the general public will be all that impressed beyond a level surface. Besides, they keep those precious 3D screens for three weeks, so Dream ‘How to Train Your Dragon steals most of them away. As always, at the beginning of next week and will tell the tale.
There is not much other box office news, but let us regardless of the press. Antoine Fuqua and the gritty cop drama, Brooklyn finest, for the first time with a strong second take of $ 13.5 million (not too bad B movie cost just $ 25 million). Antoine Fuqua opened quickly become consistent. Has several pictures, all of the last between 13 million and $ 17 million. Make sure, in some cases they cost a lot (King Arthur, the shooter), but if the studios of the budget within the expectations, Fuqua delivers the goods to the movie on a regular basis. Shooter has a special place in my heart for Danny Glover and singing alone can not explain. Ethan Hawke has just scored two of the three slots is better than his career in just two months.
I mentioned at the end of last week that the offer soon make itself into a studio to be reckoned with, and this is no exception. The show is a success in late because they show pictures adult-driven type, and starring adults and aimed at adults, affordable fare that belies the expectations of this kind. You will not find me defending the law-abiding citizen (and certainly not to kill the righteous) and the cinema is great, but there is a ‘niche market for old-fashioned type movies (not films) and starring adults are not intended to fourteen-year-old boys / girls. We are working all surprised when Vantage Point or Lakeview Terrace (two Sony Pictures) open well, but this is rare taxi pulpy enough in this market, which is usually all the proposals for themselves onthe opening weekend. More importantly, however, that the filmmakers do not spend $ 80 million (cough of the State, played for the cough) on this image and act shocked when they do only about 40-60 million U.S. dollars local. Adults, and star-driven policing is not dead, they just can not be in the budget such as the remnants of a comic book.
Shutter Island fell another 41% in the third week, to withdraw its $ 13.3 million and expire at the end of the third week with $ 95 million. Policeman outside the Kevin Smith became the highest-grossing picture, with the entire $ 32 million bythe end of week three. Too bad no one likes it, but sometimes you hold your nose and do one of ‘them’. Better luck next time. Avatars survived the loss of its 3D and IMAX screens, where it decreased to escape, but not quite 43% atthe end of week 12. Still, in the picture pulled $ 7.7 million, and now sits with 720 million dollars . Earlier reports of its death exaggerated and clear. 3D version of the film could very well become a key role in multiple theaters and halls 3D for a month or more, especially if the victories in tonight to the Oscars.
All this news in the end of the week. Crazy heart was counting on Oscar by the noise and jumped by 36% and it now sits at $ 29 million. If Jeff Bridges to win an Oscar, and this can be something higher than $ 40 million. Crazy hit OK against terror 56% in the second week. Holiday love, now sitting on $ 106 million. Blind side crossed the $ 250 million mark. If Bullock wins tonight (Mazel Tov to accept that Al-Razi, everything about Steve in person, by the way), it will likely go beyond the Star Trek. Percy Jackson and … This film is shocking to justify the title by typing out the whole blood is at 78million dollars, while Wolfman just crossed the $ 60 million.
Oh, and Roman Polanski and Ghost Writer inch closer to the top ten, also achieved $ 1.3 million to finish third century. The acquisition of the summit so far made $ 2.6 million. Makes me wish that this film better. Polanski, Scorsese, and Burton all inflated this year. So far, only Martin Campbell to deliver the goods as promised. The edge of darkness was no less than rock solid type B pictures with the maturity and seriousness of purpose (ie – violence, weight, and characters act like adults), which makes me a fan. Let’s hope that Chris Nolan is also superior to all current difficulties, or may have lost hope.
In any event, and join us at the beginning of next week to Paul Greengrass in the Green Zone (in the Iraq war and excitement that are sold in such a repetition born). In addition to Paramount is trying to convince us that Eve is not hotter, sexier Krysten Ritter (ha!) With it from my football. Lance Grass (held by the party against Angela Bassett in Tyler Perry’s meeting with Brown) married America Ferrera in our family wedding. Oh, and Robert Patterson said the tests are not withdrawn Twilight box office, with romantic, remember me. Until then, take care.
