Audiences are mad as hatters about Johnny Depp and Tim
Burton's "Alice in Wonderland," helping it earn a whopping
$US41 million in its first day.
After its big start on Friday, the Disney release could be on
track for a $US100 million weekend. Box-office tracker
Hollywood.com says that would be a record for films opening
in March.
The current best March debut is $US70.9 million for "300" in
2007.
Director Burton reteamed with frequent collaborator Depp, who
plays the Mad Hatter in their new take on Lewis Carroll's
classic. The film also features Burton's romantic partner,
Helena Bonham Carter, along with Anne Hathaway, Crispin
Glover and Mia Wasikowska as Alice.
