"Alice in Wonderland (2010)" topped the weekend box office for the second straight weekend, bringing in estimated $62 million, according to BoxOfficeMojo.comThe rest of the new films did not do as well as expected.
From Ray Suber's analysis at BoxOfficeMojo.com:
"Green Zone," the Iraq-set action thriller, posted a mediocre estimated $14.5 million on approximately 3,400 screens at 3,003 sites, and it will ultimately gross only a fraction of its reported $100 million production budget. This was the latest Middle East-themed movie to disappoint, landing between the opening weekends of The Kingdom ($17.1 million) and Body of Lies ($12.9 million).
"She's Out of My League" debuted in third place with an estimated $9.6 million on around 3,300 screens at 2,956 sites, a far cry from similarly-themed comedies like Shallow Hal, The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up. This was the first major movie that actor Jay Baruchel headlined following supporting turns in Knocked Up and Tropic Thunder, so he wasn't established enough to open a movie on his own.
Twilight actor Robert Pattinson appeared in his first non-vampire, non-wizard role in a nationwide release, but audiences largely blocked it out of their memories. "Remember Me" mustered a weak estimated $8.3 million at 2,212 sites. That's less than six percent of what The Twilight Saga: New Moon opened to a few months ago, indicating that Team Edward members weren't that interested in seeing Pattinson play a twenty-something mortal in Manhattan, at least not one that had a pallid storyline in its advertising that rested solely on Pattinson.
