Amber Heard's recent domestic violence allegations against her estranged husband Johnny Depp seems to have taken a toll on his professional career as his recently released flick 'Alice Through the Looking Glass' has opened to a bad start at the box office.

James Bobin directorial, a sequel to 2010 Tim Burton film 'Alice in Wonderland', has been beaten by 'X-Men: Apocalypse' which is retaining sales following its release last weekend, the Independent reports.

As per media company Rentrak, the adventure film, which was made on the budget of 170 million dollars, is expected to rake in only about 40 million dollars over the Memorial Day weekend, which is 65 percent less than 'Alice In Wonderland' brought in during its first weekend in 2010.

According to a source, it was predicted the film will be able to take in between 55-60 million dollars.

It seems like 2016 has started on a bad note for the 55-year-old actor as he and his wife Amber Heard initially announced their divorced followed by the restraining order against him by his wife and now his film is performing badly at the box office.
