- $62M/$209M Tumbling a mere 47% this week, Tim Burton and Johnny Depp's latest collabo has already made more money than their most recent effort, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Expect Alice's hold to remain strong for another week in the face of unimpressive competition.
2. Green Zone
- $14.5M Chalk this up as another Iraq war film to tank at the box office. Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass's latest film failed to measure up even to The Kingdom, a similarly themed actioner, and is a far cry from the duo's success with the last two Bourne movies. Consider Green Zone's mediocre showing to be the deathknell for Iraq war films for awhile.
3. She's Out of My League
- $9.6M I'm happy to see that this light hearted, raunchy comedy didn't get completely left out of the shuffle. Considering it's lack of A-list talent and a first time director, the marketing focus tended to be geared at making the film look as much like an Apatow comedy as possible, and for the most part it seems to have worked.
4. Remember Me
- $8.28M This really only confirms what we already knew, that Robert Pattinson's success is due to him being in Twilight and nothing more. You could have a sack of potatoes in the role of Edward and women would be swooning over burlap right now. Exit polling suggests that 84% of the audience for this film was female...and bears sh*t in the woods.
5. Shutter Island
- $8.14M/$108M Has now surpassed The Aviator
as Scorsese and Dicaprio's 2nd highest grossing collaboration. I still like that film better, though. 6. Our Family Wedding
- $7.6M Appropriately, audiences seem divorced from this stale looking comedy about two fathers of different races beefin' over their children's impending marriage. The only reason I would ever see this is to marvel at how ungodly thin Forest Whittaker is now. That's the guy who played Ghost Dog
? I don't believe it for a second. 7. Avatar
- $6.6M/$730M It won't go away. In fact it suffered the smallest drop from all holdover films again this week.
8. Brooklyn's Finest
- $4.29M/$21.4M 9. Cop Out
- $4.23M/$39.4M 10. The Crazies- $3.65M/$33.4M
