Shutter Island sits atop US box office at $22.2m
Leonardo Di Caprio’s Shutter Island remained steady at the top of the US Box Office at the weekend.
Variety reports the Martin Scorsese-directed movie brought an estimated gross of $22.2 million at 3003 engagements.
Shutter Island tells the story of a 1954 trainee US marshal who investigates the disappearance of a patient from Boston’s Shutter Island Ashecliffe Hospital.
Things turn sinister when Di Caprio’s marshal is refused hospital records and a hurricane cuts off communication to the mainland.
Warner Bros’s Cop Out, starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan, and Overture’s The Crazies raked in an estimated $18.6 million and $16.5 million, respectively.
Avatar, the record-breaking Twentieth Century-Fox 3-D blockbuster brought in $14 million, while Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, also by Fox, took $9.8 million.
