'Alice' out of 'Wonderland'

Disney bowed Alice in Wonderland in a big way. Studio launched the Tim Burton's 3D fantasy domestically at 2,242 3D screens, making it the largest 3D bow ever. Total screen count is 3,728.

Previous record-holder was 20th Century Fox's Avatar, which bowed at 2,023 3D screens, repping 59 percent of the film's total domestic screen count of 3,452.

With the influx of more 3D films entering the market, U.S. exhibits have been working to increase the number of screens that are equipped to show 3D pics. Paramount will release 3D toon How to Train Your Dragon on March 26, followed by Warner Bros.' bow of Clash of the Titans a week later on April 2.
