Movie - Alice In Wonderland
Alice In Wonderland has spent its second week at the top of the Australian box office.

Tim Burton and Johnny Depp's spin on the Lewis Carroll classic holds off competition from Matt Damon's Green Zone to retain first place. The Blind Side and Dear John follow at numbers three and four, while The Hurt Locker rises two spots to five following its Oscar triumph.

Elsewhere, Robert Pattinson's Remember Me is a new entry at number eight and Valentine's Day is the sharpest faller, slipping four places to ten.
