“Alice in Wonderland” Wins Weekend Box Office, “Remember Me” Slides

“Alice in Wonderland” predictably held onto the box office for a second consecutive weekend, retaining a solid portion of last week’s total en route to surpassing the $200 million mark.

“Alice” grossed an estimated $62 million this weekend. Down less than 47% from last week’s debut take, the film wiped the floor with the competition.

New release “Green Zone” was closest, landing in second with $14.5 million. That gave it the edge over “She’s Out of My League,” which started the weekend in fourth but, by Sunday, had moved up to third with $9.6 million.

After landing within modest expectations Friday, “Remember Me” lost some momentum Saturday and and Sunday and landed in fourth with just $8.3 million. “Shutter Island” surpassed new release “Our Family Wedding” ($7.6 million) for fifth, adding $8.1 million to a total that now stands above $100 million.
