OzBreathing life into the beleaguered box office, Sam Raimis  Oz the Great and Powerful took in an impressive $80.3 million in its North American debut. Disney and producer Joe Roth hope to launch a family-friendly franchise with Oz, which scored the top North American debut of 2013 as well as the third-best March opening of all time after last year’s The Hunger Games ($152.5 million) and fellow Disney fantasy-adventure Alice in Wonderland, which debuted to $116.1 million in early March 2010.
