Battle at the Box Office 3/22
Alice in Wonderland continues to dominate the number one spot at the box office. Tim Burton’s latest racked up another $34 million this weekend bringing it’s total to just over $265 million. The new movies proved to be stronger than expected with The Bounty Hunter and Diary of a Wimpy Kid battling it out for second. Wimpy Kid squeezed out the victory, making just over $22 million while The Bounty Hunter took in $20.6 million. In a distant fourth was the other new release, Repo Men, which managed just over $6 million. Last week’s 2,3 and 4 all moved down to 5,6 and 7 while maintaining their same order. The only other big mover is Roman Polanski’s The Ghost Writer, which expanded over the weekend and took the eleventh spot, up from fifteen. Can Alice hold up against fellow 3D movie How to Train Your Dragon or could Hot Tub Time Machine take home the crown?
