Disney 3D pic earns $17 million Friday -- For the second week in a row, Disney's "Alice in Wonderland" crushed the competition, despite a number of new films that debuted on Friday.

Disney's Alice In Wonderland is a monster hit. It clearly becomes the best March release ever with $45 million on Friday. If that holds up, the Tim Burton-directed, Johnny Depp starring fantasy flick could have a $115M-$120M opening weekend for the biggest 3D pic debut ever.
