Cinderella
has
been
making
news
since
the
release
date
was
coming
closer.
The
Disney's
live-action
take
on
the
famous
fairytale
"Cinderella" grossed
an
estimated
USD
70.1
million
at
the
North
American
weekend
box
office
after
its
release
last
week.
It
wasn't
the
highest-grossing
opening
for
a
Disney
movie
in
March.
(That
title
belongs
to
"Alice
in
Wonderland" and
"Oz
the
Great
and
Powerful.")
Cinderella
has
turned
out
to
be
the
top
6
highest
March
opening
weekend
at
box
office
in
2015.
However,
Cinderella
could
not
beat
2010's
Alice
in
Wonderland
which
collected
$116,101,023
and
landed
on
the
2nd
place.
The
movie
starring
Lily
James
has
a
bigger
opening
than
Disney's
"Maleficent"
(USD
69.4
million)
despite
the
fact
that
the
2014
movie
has
a
more
famous
female
lead,
Angelina
Jolie.
Overseas,
the
film
raked
in
USD
62.4
million
for
a
worldwide
total
of
USD
132.5
million.
Attached
to
the
screenings
of
"Cinderella" is
animated
short
"Frozen
Fever",
which
features
the
"Frozen
(2013)" characters.
This
provided
a
double
dose
of
family
entertainment,
especially
after
a
string
of
R-rated
films
in
recent
weeks.
"Run
All
Night",
the
latest
action
film
starring
Liam
Neeson,
entered
the
chart
at
No
2
with
an
estimated
USD
11
million.
It
is
a
weak
debut
compared
to
Neeson's
"Tak3n",
which
opened
to
USD
39.2
million
in
January.
