Will 'Clash of the Titans' Bring Down 'Alice in Wonderland'?
Unless you have been living under a rock, no matter where you have turned from print, TV and the preview trailers before feature films, Clash of the Titans has been on heavy ad rotation for a few months. It has easily become one of the most anticipated films of the year. I have been waiting for awhile and the release date of April 2nd is almost here. However another anticipated film Alice in Wonderland is on pace to reign for a third week this weekend despite a slew of new films like Sony’s The Bounty Hunter coming into play. Will ‘Alice’ have legs to fend off the ‘Titans’?

Variety
Probably not. Since the days of Avatar, it seems that the bar has been raised when it comes to big budget 3d movies. I expected Alice in Wonderland to produce big numbers but on this level? In just it’s two weeks of release, it has brought in over $2oo million dollars. Is it the appeal of Johhny Depp,the classic story or the 3d option? Who knows but if Clash of the Titans lives up to the hype,Warner Bros. is looking ahead at another blockbuster.
You can catch Disney’s Alice in Wonderland starring Johnny Depp in theaters now and Warner Bros. Clash of the Titans in theaters April 2nd.
