Weekend movie results & new book |
February 22, 2010 09:45 AM
Leonardo DiCaprio rebounded nicely this weekend with the biggest opener of his career. Shutter Island dominated the competition with an estimated $40.2 million Friday-Sunday in the US alone, a better result than Leo's last two movies made during their entire respective runs. Meanwhile, AVATAR, the movie that trumped DiCaprio's Titanic, celebrated its 10th weekend by moving up to third place, scoring another $16.1 million locally in the USA and putting itself days away from an unprecedented $700 million-plus for America alone. Oh, and James Cameron is going to do things a bit differently and turn the whole MOVIE thing into a BOOK! Despite rumours that the subject matter would serve as a prequel to the movie, it sounds more like Cameron will be using the book as a vehicle to give even more detail to what we've seen so far in the movie, saying that the plot line would follow the film "quite closely", but would also include deeper character development through interior monologue. I'll be reading that one! You?
