Each week will will kick off the dreary Monday by recapping the Boxoffice Results from the most recent weekend and share what insights we might have.
This week, it looks like DiCaprio and Scorsese were hitting a solid pace with their well received Shutter Island holding the #1 spot, Kevin Smith leads with the biggest opener of the weekend.
Smith – a confessed hockey fanatic, who appears to be taking harsh criticisms in stride, commented that he took Silver this weekend as it seemed like the trendy thing to do. He also comments that the film took more at the boxoffice than WB was projecting, which is a win for him and other projects that he wants to bring to the studio giant.
The Crazies, the better of the two new films this weekend in my opinion came in third.
Here is the official breakdown via Boxoffice Mojo
Shutter Island $22,206,000 2nd wk
Cop Out $18,565,000 Opening
The Crazies $16,521,000 Opening
Avatar $14,000,000 11 wks
Percy Jackson $9,800,000 3rd wk
