Well, Alice not only remained the highest grossing movie in the domestic boxoffice for the third week in a row, grossing an additional $34.2 million - it remained the highest grossing movie in the foreign boxoffice for the third week, grossing an additional $47 million in 49 markets for a total of $300 million foreign. And it's broken more records:

  • On Saturday, Alice surpassed Batman to become director Tim Burton's highest grossing domestic movie ever

  • Alice also topped 300 last Monday(the 15th) to become the highest-grossing March release ever.

  • And Alice, having now made $565.4 million worldwide (as of this past weekend), passes Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to become Burton's highest grossing movie ever worldwide.

"There are no 'hatter's here mad or otherwise!"  La Countess Natalie Du Pres'!  Sorry I have been itching to say that for days.  

By the time the movie comes to DVD and all of it's figured up I am sure the gross figures are  gonna shoot up to even a more astounding number!

‘Alice in Wonderland’ Grows Past $300M

Interestingly, even though Alice slipped to #2 in the US last weekend, it was still #1 for the 4th week in foreign markets.

Excerpts from Box Office Mojo - March 2010 Sets Record Gross

"Generating more than $832 million, last month was the highest-grossing March ever, surpassing the $795 million of the previous milestone, March 2007. Business was up ten percent over February and 29 percent over March 2009, thanks to the would-be event picture, Alice in Wonderland, delivering massive returns unlike Watchmen last year. A first quarter gross record was also established: the haul for January, February and March came in at $2.65 billion, up nine percent over 2009 through the same point.

Each weekend in March was led by a 3D-enhanced picture: Alice in Wonderland for the first three and How to Train Your Dragon for the last. ...

...

"March 2010 was all about Alice in Wonderland and not much else. Never before has a single release dominated March so commandingly: Alice's $299.5 million tally made up 36 percent of the total March box office. The month's second highest-grossing title, How to Train Your Dragon, earned $57.9 million or less than a fifth of Alice. The next biggest March dominator on record was The Passion of the Christ with its 27 percent share in 2004."
