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."

You're going to go off one person's views on the film, rather than the millions who loved it :mellow: right ok...

You're going to go off one person's views on the film, rather than the millions who loved it :mellow: right ok...

 

if you fully read my post, the first thing i said was "this is the first place i have heard anything good about it", did that not suggest I had heard other bad things? i'm just saying that the one person who's tweet I showed I respect quite a lot, as it happens we actually had a short discussion about it in my Film Studies class yesterday and the people in my class didnt seem to like it, aswell as hearing bad things about it from other people i spoke to yesterday aswell as a few overheard convosations. Sorry "millions" who loved it? I know it has done good at the box office already but how can you possibly know that "millions" loved it?

52% on rotten tomatoes, bit poor for a film that "millions" loved.
is this film any good? i am undecided wether to see it.

Yes, it's very good.

Estimates have Alice grossing $17,400,000 on its second friday :down: 57.4% on last friday. Green Zone is a distant second with $5,000,000. Looking like it's heading for a very strong second weekend total (one of the best ever), however weekend predictions have Alice on course for a sharp 57% drop from last weekend (recent family films second weekend declines have been in the range of 12% to 45%) due to the massive rush to see the film in its opening weekend and "unimpressive" word of mouth. As a result a second weekend gross of $58m is predicted, with the film crossing the $200m barrier in 10 days.

My mum, sister and grandma all loved it, along with my friend, his sister and mum who we saw there! :kink:

 

Oh, and so far it's made $208.6 million since it's released :w00t:

Yup, weekend predictions underestimated.

 

It's the fifth best second weekend ever in North America;

 

1) Avatar $75,617,183

2) The Dark Knight $75,166,466

3) Shrek 2 $72,170,363

4) Spider-Man $71,417,527

5) Alice in Wonderland $62,714,076

6) Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest $62,345,264

 

Friday: $17,300,000 :up: 155.7% on Thursday / :down: 57.6% on last Friday

 

Saturday: $26,800,000 :up: 54.9% on Friday / :down: 39.4% on last Saturday

 

Sunday: $17,900,000 :down: -33.2% on Saturday / :down: -42.4% on last Sunday

 

:down: 46.4% on last weekend overall. Not as bad as the steep 57% predicted.

It's quite incredible really, I didn't think it would do this well, lets see how long it will take them to announce a sequel :kink:

 

Also, with 3D rising ticket prices, it might be the case that more and more films speed past these barriers faster than ever. I wonder if the the trend will continue with Clash of the Titans, How to Train Your Dragon, Skrek Forever After, Toy Story 3 etc.

I really hope 'Toy Story 3' breaks records and leaves 'Avatar' well behind :drink:
