It wont past $750 million and that's being generous. Unless it wins Best Picture, but I don't see it making more than $800 million.
The film suffered its biggest drop yet this weekend (32%). Its biggest drop previously was in weekend eight (two weekends ago) when it dropped 27%.
Of course, that doesn't stop the film from standing still with no drop at all similar to weekend nine. Even if that's the case, the film will be on it's (relative) last legs when we move into weekend twelve when Alice takes over a majority of the 3D screens out there. Everyone seems to forget this fact.

Many theaters have multiple 3D screens.

63% drop this weekend, third biggest drop of the weekend.
Fixed.
In Vegas, a city that contains two million plus, we have:
- 9 theaters that have only one 3D capable screen.
- 2 theaters that have only one 3D screen plus IMAX 3D.
- 1 theater that has two 3D capable screens plus IMAX 3D.
- 1 theater that has three 3D capable screens plus IMAX 3D.
- 1 theater that has four 3D capable screens.
- 1 theater that has sixteen 3D capable screens.
- 1 theater that has eighteen 3D capable screens.
That means out of 273 capable screens in Vegas, there's only 58 3D capable screens. That means 21% of screens are capable, but 34 of those screens (42% of that 21%) come from two theaters alone.
Now out of those 58 3D capable screens; Avatar is currently playing on 18. Come March 5th, I would be surprised if Avatar is still standing on at least 6 screens. Those screens will most likely be the ones that have multiple 3D screens or aren't getting to play Alice.
Now if Vegas has two million people, but a limited option of 3D screens; just imagine about the cities with less.
At the end of 2009, there's 39,233 screens within the US. Less than 3,000 are capable of doing 3D. Disney wants Alice to play in as many 3D sites as possible. I'm going out on a limb and stating come the first weekend of March, Avatar will be on 800-1200 screens tops (most being the remaining 3D screens Alice didn't take up).
