In terms of March films, ‘Oz’ placed third behind ‘The Hunger Games’ ($152.5 million opening) and ‘Alice in Wonderland’ ($116.1 million opening).
‘Oz’ brought in more over the weekend than numerous high-profile films, including Bryan Singer’s ‘Jack the Giant Slayer,’ ‘Identity Theft’ starring Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman, ‘Dead Man Down’ starring Colin Farrell and Terrance Howard, and ‘Snitch’ starring Dwayne Johnson.
According to IMDB, ‘Oz’ is about a small-time magician who finds himself forced to decide whether he will be a good man or a great one. Based on L. Frank Baum’s Oz novels, this film is a prequel to the 1939 MGM film, ‘The Wizard of Oz.’
On March 8, the film was released in conventional 2D, as well as the Disney Digital 3D, RealD 3D and IMAX 3D.
