Burton's Good Life will continue - ALICE IN WONDERLAND could top $100 million by Monday

So the early numbers are in, and it seems Alice in Wonderland took an astonishing $41 million on it's opening day Friday, and Disney say it's likely to break the $100 million barrier by Monday. If that indeed happens, it'll be the first Tim Burton movie to manage such a feat. Helped by the post-Avatar 3-DIMAX visual porn curiosity (which in itself is a little worrying for any upcoming tentpole that isn't made as such) and of course the family friendly critics proof nature of such a sugar loaded eye-candy visual treat, Wonderland will be his most successful box office opening of all time, topping the $68 million Planet of the Apes made in 2001, and the $56 million his remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory earned in 2005. Hmmm, pattern much? The above three movies are Burton's creatively redundant sell out pieces. This is highly disconcerting and points to a continued future of Burton/Disney collaborations that make me wanna puke. We know he wants to make a Maleficent movie, no doubt with Helena Bonham Carter leading and Johnny Depp playing a prince, or something. I think we can all picture that vividly in our heads. I personally think a Wizard of Oz redo, with Depp as a wounded, and eccentric Scarecrow can't be far away. Burton's good life I talked about in my review will continue, and it's not healthy for any director to find himself this lethargic. He is taking residence at the Lucas club, and it's difficult to break out of it. Spielberg has been a resident there since beginning work on Indiana Jones 4 in 06 - and shows no sign of checking out anytime soon.
