“Shutter Island” Opens Big at Box Office

Posted by Rowena Li on 2/24/10 • Categorized as Movies

The Martin Scorsese-directed horror flick “Shutter Island,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio, took first place at the box office this weekend, reports EW.com.

The movie took in more than $40 million in its opening weekend, perhaps a result of having no other new wide releases to compete with, or perhaps because fans were so excited to see it after the release was postponed from October last year.

The star-packed romantic comedy “Valentine’s Day” suffered a nearly 70 percent drop from last week but managed to rake in the second-highest amount at the box office this weekend, while “Avatar,” in its 10th weekend, came in third.

Shutter Island landed on the Trending Topics list as moviegoers provided their 140-character reviews:

    perezidential “Shutter Island” was pretty good. Others have attempted to do the whole psycho-mystery thing but fall flat at the end. Scorsese didn’t!
