Movie Goers Go To 'Wonderland' Again
For the third week in a row Alice in Wonderland comes out on top bringing in over $34 million dollars. New releases Diary of a Wimpy Kid,The Bounty Hunter and Repo Men were no match for Disney’s 3d flick. I am predicting Alice will finally have a challenge when Dreamwork’s How to Train Your Dragon in 3d is released Friday. Alot is being made of star heavy The Bounty Hunter coming in behind ‘Wimpy Kid’, but Bounty Hunter was going to have a tough time on the charts anyway going up against not one but two kid friendly films. It will have an even tougher time when a third kiddy film comes into play this weekend. But all in the top 5 will face trouble when the Warner Bros. most anticipated Clash of the Titans is released in two weeks.
