'Alice' Shrinks Competition's Grosses

Tim Burton and Johnny Depp's latest collaboration, Alice In Wonderland held onto the top spot for a second weekend, dropping 47% to bring in still a stellar $62 million.  With $208 million so far, 'Wonderland' is on track to be Tim Burton's highest grossing movie to date.

Matt Damon's third film with director Paul Greengrass, The Green Zone, opened in second place with $14.5 million.  With a $100 million budget, Universal Studios is not likely to earn back its investment during the film's run at the box office.

Paramount's She's Out of My League, with a $20 million budget, came in third place, with $9.6 million.  In fourth was Remember Me (with a $16 million budget). Both films should have no problem becoming profitable for their studios.

Finally, in fifth place was Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island, with $108 million gross to date, the additional $8 million from its third weekend will further help Scorsese and star Leonardo DiCaprio's bankability going forward.
