shutter island3 1 10 Weekend Box Office: Scorsese Does it Again

Yet again, despite everyone’s gripes about Shutter Island not being “Scorsese enough” for them, it managed to lead the box office pack by over $4 million. The only two newbies on the list this week, Cop Out and The Crazies, both odd medium sized films, managed to rake in about half of what they cost to make. Although Bruce Willis didn’t manage to come in at #1 he did prove to us yet again that he could get a mindless comedy about very little to make nearly $20 million. Not bad my friend…
