Alice in Wonderland

The combined forces of Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass could not earn the green.

The movie, which debuted to $14.3 million and cost approximately $100 million to produce, also came nowhere near Damon and Greengrass’ last project together. (The Bourne Ultimatum opened to $69.3 million in 2007.)
