Alice In Wonderland Rocks the Box Office!

The new Disney Alice in Wonderland movie rocked the movie industry with a shocking opening weekend of over $116 million dollars for director Tim Burton! I have read studio estimates were hoping for a $75 million dollar opening so watch out this could be a big one.

This Walt Disney Pictures and Tim Burton movie features the 3D fantasy adventures ALICE IN WONDERLAND. Johnny Depp stars as the Mad Hatter and Mia Wasikowska as 19-year-old Alice. Alice returns to a crazy world that she first encountered as a young girl. There she is reunited with her childhood friends: the White Rabbit, the Dormouse, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat, and yes you guessed it, the Mad Hatter. Alice goes on a wild and fantastical journey to find her true destiny. While there she tries to end the Red Queen’s reign of terror. The all-star cast also includes Anne Hathaway as the White Queen, Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen and Crispin Glover as the Knave of Hearts.

A little fun tidbit about The Mad Hatter and why he was so "MAD": It is rumored that back in the olden days mercury was used in the making of hats and he received mercury poisoning due to this which in turn damaged his brain. Another is that he was just an eccentric extrovert. It can drive you "As Mad As A Hatter" trying to figure it out.
