Alice('s Adventures) in Wonderland (2010)


Recommended Posts

I think they focused to much on The Hatter, the book/movie is called Alice in wonderland, not Hatter in Wonderland, Granted he does play a big role, but I think the fact that they chose Johnny Dep must've made them add more screen time for hatter.

Disney pic earns $116.3 million at box office

Disney certainly hasn't lost any of its muchness.

"Alice in Wonderland" slayed the domestic B.O., earning an estimated mammoth total of $116.3 million at 3,728 playdates to become the highest-grossing first quarter opener, as well as the all-time highest debut for a non-sequel film.

Overseas, "Alice" earned $94 million at 5,600 screens in some 40 territories for a worldwide total of $210.3 million -- the fourth highest worldwide opening for a non-sequel film.

The 3D giant screened at 2,063 3D-equipped locations domestically with an additional 188 Imax locations, repping approximately 70% of the film's total domestic earnings.

Playing second fiddle to "Alice" was the frame's other wide release, Overture's "Brooklyn's Finest," exceeding expectations with $13.5 million at 1,936 screens. Pic comes just a week after the studio launched its horror remake "The Crazies," which grossed $7 million at 2,479 engagements in its soph sesh.

I didn't like it mainly because it wasn't as well executed as I expected.

I agree with that. But as someone pointed out, it was a sequel to Through the Looking-Glass. I didn't think about that at first, so I was disappointed in the lack of character development, but with the fact that this is a sequel to the story we've already known for years, character development isn't needed.

I went and saw it again and the second viewing was actually much, much better. Keeping the sequel idea in mind allowed a much better viewing.

With that in mind, it would have been nice to see this made into a trilogy. I would have liked seeing Burton go for a full series with this, but he didn't.

I know the people who I went with said when they were watching, at the beginning they were confused and disappointed that they ruined the story, but it isnt till later in the movie that you realize this is not a "remake" of the Alice story but a sequel which then changed their understanding and views of it.

Yeah, when I first went to see it, that's exactly what happened and because I was disgusted in the beginning it ruined the first viewing for me. Anyone who didn't like this film because it isn't a remake of the original story, then you really should give it a second chance with the idea of this being a sequel. On my second viewing it was a much, much better film.

I'd honestly go from my original 6 out of 10 to an 8 out of 10 rating.

Disney did a true disservice to this film by not advertising this film as a sequel. Every trailer should have made a better attempt at explaining that. I just assumed from Alice's age in the trailers that they were using an older girl and not necessarily changing any of the story.

People thought the 10 sec "dance" by the Mad Hatter was awkward. Uh it's Underland, IT IS AWKWARD.

I thought it was more awkward when Alice did it. But something to pety didn't ruin it for me. Every time that Helena would appear my theater would laugh. Never missed a beat. I figured the "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS" would get annoying. But she said them so fast, I didn't care. The voice acting was very believable.

I think if Burton would have filmed it in 3D, instead of transferring it from 2D, it would have looked 5x better.

Johnny Depp and Mia Wasikowska?s Alice in Wonderland raked in another $62 million this past weekend, clobbering the competition including Matt Damon?s The Green Zone. Here?s who else placed behind Disney?s 3-D fantasy:

1. Alice in Wonderland, $62 million

2. The Green Zone, $14.5 million

3. She?s Out of My League, $9.6 million

4. Remember Me, $8.3 million

5. Shutter Island, $8.1 million

6. Our Family Wedding, $7.6 million

7. Avatar, $6.6 million

8. Brooklyn?s Finest, $4.3 million

9. Cop Out, $4.2 million

10. The Crazies, $3.7 million

Alice, the Tim Burton-directed movie, has taken in about $430 million globally. Quite impressive for just two weeks out the gate!

pretty impressive!

I've never gotten motion sickness but after watching this in 3D I was dizzy the rest of the night.

When I got into my car it felt like it was rolling backwards.

Well I watched Avatar in 3D and it was pretty annoying overall. I wish I had watched it in 2D. I won't be diving into 3D again until it is without glasses.

LOL

No sadly, it deserves to because its far superior to it but no

to me, this movie failed to deliver on epic scales... i thought it would be really well made and it was. I thought it would put me through a series of journeys and it didn't really. In comparison to avatar, it really didn't however avatar was of a different genre.

In 3D/Imax, it didn't feel that great.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
