MUMBAI: Alice in Wonderland is bound to make hay in its second week ay the weekend box-office despite four new releases hitting theaters today.
The latest collaboration between director Tim Burton and Johnny Depp opened with a gross of $116 million last weekend. Industry insiders are of the opinion that the intake of Alice will fall by half or less in its second weekend. As a result, the the Disney 3D film might total around $200 million in its first 10 days.
Meanwhile among the new releases, Matt Damon‘s Iraq War thriller Green Zone looks the strongestand could open with an intake of $14 million-$16 million.
The other release Fox Searchlight’s Forest Whitaker vehicle Our Family Wedding targeting urban demos could rope in $11 million or more.
Summit Entertainment is releasing Remember Me starring Robert Pattinson with prospects of fetching a similar sum.
Paramount is also releasing She‘s Out of My League that has a youthful cast. It is likely to register a mere $8 million or something nearby till Sunday.
I may be interesting to note that Summit and Canadian partner Maple have increased the number of screens of the Oscar winner The Hurt Locker to 348 screens up from 275 last weekend.
