Odeon Will Not Boycott Alice In Wonderland
At first, it was a very nice Lewis Carrol‘s adventure story that we all grew up with. Than, director Tim Burton decided to make kind of magical and imaginative twist on some of the most beloved stories of all time.
So, we got the chance to watch young lady Alice, while she returns to this fairy-tale world, trying to find her true destiny and, by the way, with her childhood friends, end the Red Queen’s reign of terror. Who would miss these adventures of Alice, knowing that the role of Mad Hatter belongs to Johnny Depp?!
So, everything started pretty well. The Walt Disney company had a lot of reasons to be satisfied, but in the same time, theatres were hoping for exactly the same thing, since we all know that normally, movies play in first-run theaters for up to 16 weeks.
