Alice In Wonderland

Alice In Wonderland


Alice In Wonderland remains top of the UK box office for a second week.

Tim Burton's latest creation, which reunites him with Johnny Depp, took a further £7.3 million, more than double it's nearest rival Shutter Island, to comfortably remain in the top spot.

It was a week for famous collaborations as Shutter Island, which sees Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese work together once more, had to settle for second.

The movie is set in 1954, U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels is investigating the disappearance of a murderess who escaped from a hospital for the criminally insane and is presumed to be hiding on the remote Shutter Island.

Green Zone, which saw Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass working on their third movie together, was another new entry at number three.

The movie is set during the early days of the Iraq invasion and, despite it's subject matter, has received good reviews with the critics.

The Iraq war movie is a genre of film that has not done well critically or at the box office in recent years but along with the success of The Hurt Locker all that seems to be changing.

Avatar dropped two places from two to four while Richard Gere's latest film Hachi: A Dog's Tale was another new entry at five.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is the latest novel to get the big screen treatment and it was the fourth new entry on the chart this week at six.

The Lovely Bones dropped three places from four to seven while The Crazies was this week's biggest faller, dropping five places from three to eight.
