Avatar’s record opening for a 3D movie was short lived. Alice in wonderland took in over $116 million from Friday to Sunday, which definitely trumps Avatar’s opening of a mere $77million. This is all U.S sales only though. Avatar is still the king of international sales. Avatar took in $242 million while Alice In Wonderland took in 210.3 million.
I think you can explain this by Avatar being the ultimate hype machine and it did all the heavy lifting to get the ball rolling and bring attention to 3D technology. Alice In Wonderland is merely benefiting from the 3D withdraw everyone who has seen Avatar has been going through. I really did not enjoy Alice much at all, check out my review of it here.
