Friday Box Office: Shutter Surge
Shutter Island did what it was supposed to do Friday, riding the DiCaprio/Scorsese Express to $14.1 million and an easy number-one over some very soft competition. Last week's blockbuster Valentine's Day utterly folded -- setting itself up for a second-weekend drop of more than 70 percent -- while Percy Jackson fared only moderately better in third place. And behind them, Avatar made a decent-enough stride in its climb to $700 million. Read on for Friday's full top 10.
