Apparently ‘Avatar’ isn’t the only movie to break records recently. Tim Burton’s ‘Alice in Wonderland’ did well this past weekend in the box office, earning an estimated $116.3 million, the highest grossing weekend ever for a spring release. Not only that, but IMAX — which pulled “Avatar” from all its screens in exchange for “Alice” — was rewarded handsomely with its highest weekend gross ever, $11.9 million in only 188 theaters.

The 3-D spectacular solidified the fact that 3-D is the new movement on the silver screen. IMAX alone sold out every seat they had for the entire weekend. Pretty amazing right?

Unfortunately, I have not had the awesome privilege of seeing ‘Alice in Wonderland’ as of yet. Have you?

What do you think of it? Do you think that it may be a contender for a 2011 Oscar?
