X-Men beats Alice to top North American box office
    2016-06-01  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    The latest X-Men outing has beaten “Alice Through the Looking Glass” to the top of the North American box office.

    Over the Memorial Day weekend, Alice could only manage US$28.1 million, while “X-Men: Apocalypse” debuted on top with an estimated* US$65 million.

    Both films received poor reviews from the critics.

    On Friday, Johnny Depp, star of “Alice Through the Looking Glass,” received a restraining order* after wife Amber Heard alleged* he assaulted* her.

    Heard had filed for divorce earlier in the week.

    But Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for comScore, said the takings for Disney’s “Alice Through the Looking Glass” probably had little to do with the news of Heard’s allegations.

    “I think the reviews had more to do with the film’s performance than any personal drama for Depp,” Dergarabedian said.

    The first film, Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland,” took US$116 million in its opening weekend in 2010.

    The sequel*, directed by James Bobin, had been expected to open with US$60 million plus. The film cost US$170 million to make.

    “It’s a disappointing result,” said Dave Hollis, distribution chief for Disney, who said the firm’s strategy was to make “big bets.”

    “But when you make big bets, there are times when you have results that are disappointing,” he added.

    The latest “X-Men” instalment also opened well below the US$90.8 million debut of 2014’s” X-Men: Days of Future Past” and the US$132.4 million opening of February’s “X-Men” spinoff “Deadpool.”

    “The Angry Birds Movie” grossed* US$18.7 million in its second weekend, knocking it back from first to third place.

    “Captain America: Civil War” took fourth spot, with comedy “Neighbors: Sorority Rising” rounding out the top five.
