February 26, 201015 yr TBH wouldn't surprise me if it was just a fake story to garner even more hype for the film. It seems to have worked as most people I know that want to see it, were talking about it and how they will be "gutted" if it doesn't get shown at a cinema near them etc... Tbh, I wouldn't be at all surprised if that were true.... -_-
March 4, 201015 yr ERGH! There's been a "Pass ban" on this film, so I can't watch it for free, unless I wait 2 weeks :snif: Apparently only happens with Disney films, where I work so they sure know how to make their money! LOL :(
March 6, 201015 yr Just back from seeing. I loved it! This is classic Burton. Im not a fan of the Alice story - infact have hated it, so was quite surprised that this was as good as it was. Johnny Depp is fantastic. Mesmerizing! Helena well there are no words :wub: Avril's song has clicked with me now. :)
March 6, 201015 yr The movie was very good. Of course not NEAR as good as the animated, but I enjoyed it alot. I'd give it an A-. Edited March 6, 201015 yr by Tyler
March 7, 201015 yr Author It brought in $45 million on Friday alone, and is set to make about $115-$120 million by the end of the weekend :mellow: That's bigger than Avatar's opening weekend!
March 7, 201015 yr I enjoyed this. Depp and Bonham Carter were both fantastic as expected, and Hathaway and the voice-over cast did a fine supporting job. My only complaint is that it wasn't long enough - there's SO much scope with Wonderland for an absolute epic!
March 7, 201015 yr I loved the film! Helena was as fabulous as ever! :wub:! Johnny Depp was awesome too! I loved all the voice-over cast, but I just couldn't shake off the picture as Barbara Windsor being Peggy :( My friend whispered to me halfway through it "gerrout of my pub" and it set me off :lol: :( Amazing film overall though ^_^
March 7, 201015 yr Author I'm just back from watching it, and I loved it (unsurprisingly :kink:) Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp were my favourite parts, but I thought that the entire cast did a fantastic job! My cinema was packed, glad it's doing so well ^_^
March 7, 201015 yr Weekend estimates for North America put the weekend gross at a massive $116,300,000 :o I was not expecting this to make over $100m in it's opening weekend, even when I saw that it made an impressive $40m on Friday. That means that it has held terrifically well over the three days. Eating its dust in second place is Brooklyn's Finest with $13,500,000 while last week's number #1, Shutter Island, slips to #3 with $13,300,000. Easily the most impressive opening for a film since Avatar and Burton's highest grossing film out of the gate by a country mile: the Planet of the Apes remake is his previous best, grossing $68,532,960 in its opening weekend, while Charlie and the Chocolate Factory remains his highest grossing movie overall with $206,459,076, and Alice is looking to pass that total with ease :cheer: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/ EDIT: The US weekend total confirmed as: $116,300,000 :w00t: Damn beat me to it :P Edited March 7, 201015 yr by Daniel{MKG}17

March 8, 201015 yr Author It's also set a record for the highest first weekend earner in the first three months of any year. The benchmark was previously set by Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ in 2004. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8555916.stm
March 8, 201015 yr this is the first place i have heard anything good about it. i also trust this guy: http://twitter.com/rob_sheridan/status/10130363718 more than alot of people on this earth, so not for me i think :D "Sadly, I found Alice in Wonderland soulless and boring, with lazy, distracting overuse of CGI."
