I knew* Alice in Wonderland* was going to do well but I seriously underestimated just how well. Alice had the biggest March opening ever, as well as the strongest opening for a 3D movie and had the best opening in history for a non-sequel. Here’s the top five: **
- Alice in Wonderland](Alice in Wonderland (2010) - Movie | Moviefone): $116.1 million
- Brooklyn’s Finest](Brooklyn's Finest (2010) - Movie | Moviefone): $13.4 million
- Shutter Island](Shutter Island (2010) - Movie | Moviefone): $13.2 million
- Cop Out](Cop Out (2010) - Movie | Moviefone): $9.2 million
- Avatar:](Avatar (2009) - Movie | Moviefone) $8.1 million**
