“Alice in Wonderland” Tops Friday Box Office, “Brooklyn’s Finest” Okay

While “Brooklyn’s Finest” performed passably in its box office debut Friday, it was the heavily-hyped “Alice in Wonderland” that stole the show.

Reports indicate that the film grossed $41 million Friday, enough to positively rule the box office. Even if the film failed to gross a single dime on Saturday and Sunday–and that obviously is not happening, as projections show the film could generate $110 million through Sunday–its total will almost triple what any competitor will make across the entire weekend.

In second place was “Finest” with $4.8 million, topping last week’s winner “Shutter Island” ($4 million).

“Cop Out” and “The Crazies” followed, and neither showed any holdover strength, with the films dropping to $2.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

“Avatar” was sixth with $2 million.
