The first weekend box office estimates are trickling in, and it appears the Alice in Wonderland bonanza will continue. Projections place last week’s champ atop the chart again with roughly $60 million in its second week of release, which would push it past the $200 million mark overall.

Remember Me is estimated to finish a close fourth behind fellow debuts Green Zone ($15 million) and She’s Out of My League ($10 million). It will likely battle with the latter for third place until late Sunday.

Friday’s numbers:

$17.4 M – Alice
$5 M – Green Zone
$3.6 M – Remember Me
$3.3 M – She’s Out of My League

Again, these are VERY EARLY estimates. Gossip Cop will have more details and more accurate projections as the weekend continues.

As all of you know, Rob's new movie Remember Me releases in theaters in 9 days. We all want this movie to open with the highest amount that it can. Since all fans will be going to Remember Me on Friday the 12th, we want you to go see Remember Me AGAIN on the 13th with your family and friends.

As well, you can watch the Remember Me trailer below, and RP.Net will have a new layout dedicated to Remember Me very soon.

Robert Pattinson is taking a break from his Twilight stardom to play a rebellious New York college student in Remember Me. In the indie flick, the 23-year-old gets to explode with rage, fall in love with a girl (played by Lost's Emilie de Ravin) and go head-to head with his domineering father (played by Pierce Brosnan).

Parade.com's Jeanne Wolf found out what Pattinson had in common with his character's search for identity.

Acting as therapy.
"I try and pick roles that will help me develop as a human being and I think I was going through a similar kind of experience as my character Tyler, which I guess you could call being rebellious. I thought just doing the film would actually help me to think about and discover things that would help me in my life. I was kind of using it as a therapy exercise."

Robert Pattinson: 'Love Can Be More Lethal Than a Vampire Bite'

His personal struggle.
"You're so focused on trying to be an individual and trying to like stamp your identity on something. But you kind of doubt what you want to be. You don't accept just being part of the world. I sort of had that feeling. I had this obsession when I was younger about everything feeling kind of fake. Eventually, you just stop sort of railing against everything around you because most people only cause problems for themselves. They're just blind to the reality of things."

Connecting with losing a loved one.
"I keep talking about my dog all the time. It was an incredible dog, and I said in an interview recently he was the most important person in my life. My family went crazy with me for saying that. But, however ridiculous it may seem to some people, my relationship with my dog was a defining moment. Having the dog die was, literally, like the worst day of my life. It was like losing a family member."

The reality of becoming an overnight success.
"I think you really cause yourself a lot of problems if you start fighting against it. There's nothing you can do. I mean, there's no mysticism to it. People recognize you and they want to talk to you, or want to see you. My trick is not to see them as a crowd. If you break down every crowd into individuals, then it's more manageable. It's just when you start seeing these huge masses of people screaming at you that you start going crazy. So I try to focus on a few faces and not the mass."


But when you're filming on location in New York...
"It ended up being like more of a circus than I thought it was going to be. At the beginning, it was terrible. Then, about halfway through, I just suddenly had an epiphany about it. I don't know what happened, but I know it's just fine. I guess it's just learning how to sort of block things out. It's like you've just got to be more disciplined about it."

A lesson in anger control.
"While we were filming, one of the security guys saw me getting more and more upset with the paparazzi guys. He just sort of came up and was like, 'Imagine going out there and trying to hit one of them while, let's say, 40 cameras are clicking away.' That was enough to kind of calm my frustration. But, at the end of the day, you can't say, 'I'm not doing it until these people go away.' You have to keep acting. So it was definitely way more intense than any of the Twilight films."

Maybe he skips the reviews.
"I didn't like the way New Moon was treated by the critics. I think it was reviewed in the context of just being a big franchise movie. When something is so hyped, inevitably, there is a backlash against it. I think Chris Weitz is an amazing director. I really enjoyed the film. So the naysayers kind of annoyed me."

So why not try an album?
"I kind of want to do one at the end of the year. All my friends are recording albums and I'm very annoyed about it. But I can't do two things at once. I don't know how people like Jennifer Lopez can act and also sing. I'm just like, 'I can't.' But, hopefully, I'll find some time to get it together."

MONTREAL - The consensus is that Robert Pattinson has mastered the James Dean art of brooding as the sullen poster boy for the latest generation.

Pattinson's heartthrob status has been defined by his portrayal of the conflicted vampire-in-recovery Edward Cullen in the popular Twilight film series, based on the Stephenie Meyer novels.

There was Twilight in 2008, New Moon last year, and Eclipse is set for release, to a great deal of anticipation, on June 30. Breaking Dawn, the finale, is expected to be released as two movies over the next few years.

In other words, the British actor is committed to the Edward sulk for at least another few films. But that doesn't mean he's become self-entitled or satisfied with his accomplishments.

His latest effort to expand on his brooding horizons is Remember Me, which opens Friday. Pattinson plays Tyler, a rebellious young New Yorker who clashes with his overbearing father (Pierce Brosnan) in the aftermath of his brother's sudden death.

Only when Tyler meets the charming Ally (Emilie de Ravin) does he find some peace of mind and a reason to believe, which may be threatened by Ally's protective Manhattan cop dad (Chris Cooper).

To say that Pattinson as Tyler redefines James Dean's Rebel Without a Cause angst is not an exaggeration, although the actor expresses some reservations about the assessment.

"I think it's a fairly typical state to be in," Pattinson notes of his character's classic rebellious posturing. "And yes, I think there's that element, but I was also interested in the arrogant things about Tyler."

The good news for Pattinson is that he could protect the delicate tone and texture as a producer on the film. But he's hesitant to take credit.

"I'm kind of embarrassed about the producing thing, because I wasn't really acting like a proper producer," he confesses. "I only came on after filming to help make sure the product was the product we all wanted to make at the end."

Indeed, Remember Me is precious to him, so he wanted to ensure the project

wasn't modified or diminished in the post-production phase.

"The way Tyler reacted to specific things seemed very relatable to me," Pattinson admits. "I hadn't seen a character like it in 100 scripts, so when it came available between filming New Moon and Eclipse, I went for it, because it seemed like a perfect fit."

He has lots of choices available to him, thanks to Twilight. Before Twilight, the London-born actor was introduced to the modelling world by his mother, who worked for an agency in London. He was successful as a teen and found time to get involved in a neighbourhood theatre group, while performing pop music as well.

Subsequently, a TV and movie agent liked what he saw, and signed Pattinson. As good fortune and timing would have it, Pattinson eventually won a high-profile cameo in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, portraying the doomed Cedric Diggory. Shortly after the release of that picture, he was being dubbed the next Jude Law.

But that's not why Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke selected Pattinson to play Edward opposite Kristen Stewart's Bella in Twilight.

"Their chemistry was instant," Hardwicke recalled just before the release of the first film. In fact, Stewart and Pattinson connected so convincingly, they have been linked romantically.

What Hardwicke didn't mention is that a determined Pattinson had to endure multiple auditions to beat out more than 5,000 other actors. He has that kind of drive.

Still, Pattinson says he never anticipated the overwhelming, and constricting, attention that arrived with his Twilight role. But he says he doesn't take roles "that are polar opposites of Edward Cullen," though he appreciates the change of pace.

Currently, he's enjoying his against-type performance in Bel Ami, an R-rated drama with a racy sex sequence, due in theatres next year.

"I think there's a kind of irony in Bel Ami, because a lot of the women are attracted to my character," Pattinson says, smiling ever so slightly, "and then he kind of screws them over and steals their money, which I think is quite funny compared to my Twilight character."

Leonardo DiCaprio has little to worry about these days, having long gotten over the career bump that was Titanic. Up to that point, the young turk was carving out a career as a beautiful, beguiling character actor. Suddenly, he was a star. His previous outing, Baz Luhrman’s Romeo + Juliet lit the fuse, DiCaprio suddenly a pin-up of every young girl’s wall. The tragic role of Jack in Titanic was enough for the young Leonardo DiCaprio’s career to explode. To the point where the 23-year old actor couldn’t step outside his door without the paparazzi photographing his every move. And the world constantly contemplating his next move.

A bit like Robert Pattinson after Twilight broke. Only even more mental.

“I can see it happening with Robert Pattinson, absolutely,” laughs DiCaprio, “and it brings back such happy, and crappy, memories. Your life isn’t your own when that kind of stardom happens, and you have tabloids every day making up stories about you.

“It’s not exactly what an actor dreams of, because your anonymity is gone.”

Suddenly, you’re Elvis, and that means playing someone else for an audience is nigh on impossible. DiCaprio addressed the issue by playing a variation of himself at that time in Woody Allen’s Celebrity, but when he tried to actually act in 1998’s The Man In The Iron Mask and 2000’s The Beach, audiences just wanted more Jack. Or more Romeo. More Leo.
