Avatar is now the biggest grossing movie of all-time, and it is unlikely that Alice in Wonderland would even approach that over the long run, but to beat its opening weekend would certainly be a nice start for the film unless the box office hits fatburner.org and these estimates aren't even close..
Pre-release tracking indicates the Disney film could ring up $75 million or more through Sunday. "Avatar" opened to $77 million in mid-December on its way to becoming the biggest movie of all time.
"Alice" also bows this week in 41 foreign territories; Japan, Spain, China and several other countries will get "Alice" in future months.
Quite a surprising estimate to me. While I am interested in seeing this, I didn't think this type of movie would resonate that well with most people. Tim Burton may make some movies that appear to be for kids, but they are basically kids movies that kids shouldn't see. Alice in Wonderland certainly fits the role of the Adult Fairy Tale if the dark sides of the story are used for the theme. OF course I expect Burton to use these themes and thus make kids not want to see it.
