The film's No. 1 performance in all territories played, says Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International, is "the biggest second weekend ever realized for any title (released) during the winter-spring corridor (January-April) in industry history."

"Alice" has "expanded the commercial possibilities of this (usually quiescent boxoffice) period in a whole new way," said David Kornblum, Disney's vp of international sales and distribution.

With 35% of the international market -- including France, China, Spain, Japan and Brazil -- yet to play, "Alice" has rolled up a total overseas gross of $221 million, of which nearly 70% ($152 million) originated in 3D venues. Its worldwide tally is $430 million.
