Alice in Wonderland came out on top of the box office for the second weekend in a row while the new action-drama Green Zone, starring Matt Damon, came in at a disappointing $14.5 million. Universal Pictures and its financing partner, Relativity Media, spent around $100 million to produce the film with millions more for marketing. CinemaScore gave the film a B- and word of mouth is mixed. Internationally, Green Zone only pulled in $9.7 million across 14 foreign territories. She’s Out of My League came in third for the weekend with $9.6 million.
