Overall, the US Box Office was up 74% on last weekend's gross.

The first big blockbuster for the year is another 3D entry, Tim Burton's ALICE IN WONDERLAND which shattered everyone's expectations by taking a mammoth $116 million over the weekend. This will no doubt be seen as further proof that 3D is the way to go, and the medium seemed quite suited to the warped fantasy world of Burton's mind. The film cost a huge $200 million but the film should not have a problem recouping it.

Another new film opened over the weekend; BROOKLYN'S FINEST came in second place, but earned only around 10% of ALICE IN WONDERLAND's take, hauling in $13.3 million. However, BROOKLYN'S FINEST also only had 10% of ALICE IN WONDERLAND's budget so it all evens out. The film did quite well to earn this much, especially considering it debuted on far fewer screens.

SHUTTER ISLAND continues to do well, earning $13.2 million in its third weekend and losing only 41% of its audience from last weekend. The film has earned a profitable $95.7 million against an $80 million budget.

The ultra-average cop comedy COP OUT managed to only drop 49% on last weekend to earn $9.2 million. The film has managed to earn $32.5 million, now officially in the black against its $30 million budget. As hard as it is to believe, this is director Kevin Smith's best result financially, even though he's made far better films in the past.

AVATAR had to yield its position on 3D screens to the number one film this weekend, but the James Cameron sci-fi extravaganza still managed a healthy $8.1 million, taking its cumulative domestic total to $720 million.

The Top 12 at the US Box Office took in a total of $185,857,643 for the whole of the weekend 5-7 March 2010.
