MUMBAI: Not to be undone by this week's
three releases like Diary of a Wimpy
Kid, The Bounty Hunter and Repo
Man, Disney's Alice in Wonderland
topped the charts showing that its strength
hasn't died down in its third weekend.
Director
Tim Burton's 3-D film dropped 45 per cent
domestically to $34.5 million and 41 per
cent internationally to $47 million that
brought its worldwide ticket sales total
to a massive $565.8 million.
Diary
of a Wimpy Kid opened to a studio-estimated
$21.8 million in the US and Canada surpassing
the $21 million for The Bounty Hunter
starring Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler.
Jude Law starrer Repo Men bombed
roping in a mere $6.2 million.
Audiences
gave Wimpy Kid an average grade of
A-, according to the market research firm
CinemaScore. That augurs good word of mouth
in the coming weeks and a final gross of
at least $60 million.
Bounty
Hunter had a decent debut given its
budget of a little more than $40 million.
The film got a B-, indicating that word
of mouth will be mixed in the coming weeks.
