America loves Alice.

Alice in Wonderland posted the best 3D and IMAX openings in history — even bigger than Avatar — with a total domestic weekend haul of over $115 million.

The Tim Burton fantasy starring Johnny Depp and newcomer Mia Wasikowska is also the biggest March release ever.

While Sunday numbers are not yet final, it’s clear frequent collaborators Depp and Burton had a very good Oscars weekend.

Meanwhile, just-opened Brooklyn’s Finest and holdover Shutter Island are neck and neck for the #2 spot.
