While Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland made over $1 billion, the sequel somehow bombed and made $700 million less, but the writing was on the wall.
Tim Burton's take on Alice in Wonderland was a huge success, but the 2016 sequel, Alice Through the Looking Glass, was a massive failure by comparison, and the studio should have seen it coming. So many versions of Lewis Carroll's classic story have been adapted for the screen, most notably the 1951 animated Disney classic, but a whole 51 years later, Burton put his spin on the fairytale with the big-budget, Johnny Depp-starring 2010 movie.

Audiences show up just to see Burton's unique, gothic style, which usually comes with a Danny Elfman score too. Just like Burton's low-budget releases and his other studio movies, Alice in Wonderland is a fantastically dark film.
4 Alice Through The Looking Glass Had Major Box Office Competition Though the movie's lower budget hints at the fact that Disney didn't have much faith in the movie, Alice Through the Looking Glass's release date hints at the exact opposite. The movie was released at the same time as two other potential box office giants, X: Men: Apocalypse and Warcraft.
3 Alice Through The Looking Glass Arrived Too Late Alice Through the Looking Glass was released a whole six years after Alice in Wonderland, and the long time between releases greatly damaged its box office potential. Though long delays don't hurt sequels like Avatar: The Way of Water, that's because Avatar 2 features advanced, ground-breaking visual effects and is an epic movie, while Alice Through the Looking Glass is no such thing.
