Yet it looks to surpass last year’s end-of-February count by about 7%. Regardless of snow or four-man bobsled races, people still want to go to the movies. And what they paid to see were dark action pictures with ceiling-high body counts and suppurating psychopaths. _Shutter Island_, with Leonardo DiCaprio playing a U.S. marshal who is trapped in a remote insane asylum, stayed in first place in its second week, according to early studio estimates. Martin Scorsese’s you-dunit claimed $22.2 million, easily besting the $18.6 million registered by the Bruce Willis–Tracy Morgan police-buddy comedy _Cop Out_, which survived a title change (from _A Couple of Dicks_) and felonious reviews (a 20% score on Rotten Tomatoes). In third place, with a solid $16.5 million, was the horror remake _The Crazies_. After months of female-angled hits, the guys returned to dominate the movie market by seeing a bunch of red-meat pictures. This was the first weekend that R-rated films filled the top three slots since Aug. 28-30, when four gorefests reigned: _Final Destination_, _Inglourious Basterds_, _Halloween II_ and _District 9_. [(See TIME’s review of _Shutter Island_.)](https://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1966473,00.html) In fourth place was that hardy perennial _Avatar_; the eco-epic minted even more green, earning $14 million. James Cameron’s smash has passed the $700 million mark in domestic theaters and is nearing $2.5 billion worldwide. But it will soon take a hit in a crucial spot: 3-D theaters. _Avatar_ has had a monopoly on the goggles auditoriums for the past 11 weeks and has lined its pockets with cash from the higher ticket prices; last weekend it made 95% of its North American gross in those specialty rooms. Next weekend, though, the movie will lose most of its 3-D venues to Tim Burton’s _Alice in Wonderland_. Not that folks will stop seeing the Cameron spectacle, even in 2-D — free publicity from the ramp-up to the March 7 Oscar show will keep it fresh in viewers’ minds — but soon it may be time to say ta-ta to _Avatar_. Among films in limited release, Roman Polanski’s favorably reviewed thriller _The Ghost Writer_ took in $870,000 on just 43 screens. But the big race, not so much at the box office as in this week’s Oscar pools, was between two nominees for the foreign-language Academy Award, both of them released by Sony Pictures Classics. _A Prophet_, Jacques Audiard’s French prison drama, opened to a decent $170,000 in nine theaters in New York and Los Angeles, while Michael Haneke’s _The White Ribbon_ made $168,000 in its ninth week of limited release. That movie has now passed $1.5 million in North America — not bad for a powerful but super-austere epic about collective madness in a German village on the eve of World War I. [(See the 2010 Oscar predictions.)](https://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/0,28757,1968189,00.html) The two films have been competing with each other ever since they premiered at last May’s Cannes Film Festival, where _The White Ribbon_ took first prize and _A Prophet_ came in second. Haneke’s picture is high-brow caviar, while Audiard’s is more a crowd pleaser. On Saturday, _The White Ribbon_ won the top award from the American Society of Cinematographers, beating _Avatar_, _The Hurt Locker_, _Inglourious Basterds_ and _Nine_ and solidifying its chances to win the Oscar in this category. Ah, but a week ago, at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards, _A Prophet_ beat _The White Ribbon_ for Best Film Not in the English Language. [(See the top 10 Oscar-nomination snubs.)](https://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1958245%5F1958244,00.html) Which of these estimable works will take the foreign-language Oscar? It’s a toss-up, and there’s always the chance that a dark horse will win. But for the moment, _The White Ribbon_ and _A Prophet_ are the _Hurt Locker_ and _Avatar_ of foreign-language films. And both will be remembered, at least among the cognoscenti, long after _Cop Out_ and _The Crazies_ hit the DVD remainder bins. Here are the weekend’s top-grossing pictures in North American theaters, as reported by Box Office Mojo: 1\. _Shutter Island_, $22.2 million; $75.1 million, second week 2\. _Cop Out_, $18.6 million, first weekend 3\. _The Crazies_, $16.5 million, first weekend 4\. _Avatar_, $14 million; $706.9 million, 11th week 5\. _Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief_, $9.8 million; $71.2 million, third week 6\. _Valentine’s Day_, $9.5 million; $100.4 million, third week 7\. _Dear John_, $5 million; $72.6 million, fourth week 8\. _The Wolfman_, $4.1 million; $57.2 million, third week 9\. _Tooth Fairy_, $3.5 million; $53.9 million, sixth week 10\. _Crazy Heart_, $2.5 million; $25.1 million, 11th week [See the best movies of the decade.](https://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1949837%5F1949237,00.html) [See the top 10 Sundance hits.](https://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1871821%5F1871830,00.html) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/archive/6910713/box-office-shutter-island-tops-the-cops-and-the-crazies/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/archive/6910713/box-office-shutter-island-tops-the-cops-and-the-crazies/"},"headline":"Box Office: Shutter Island Tops the Cops and the Crazies","datePublished":"2010-02-28T05:00:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-22T16:12:01.290Z","description":"The North American weekend box office had to fight off a continent-deep whiteout: another walloping snow storm on the East Coast, a high-rated Winter Olympics...","url":"https://time.com/archive/6910713/box-office-shutter-island-tops-the-cops-and-the-crazies/","keywords":[],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt96ad84d7ce136637/698a4b5e47ca3846493bc5a7/360_bo_shutter_0221.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Richard Corliss","url":"https://time.com/author/richard-corliss/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt96ad84d7ce136637/698a4b5e47ca3846493bc5a7/360_bo_shutter_0221.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"360_bo_shutter_0221.jpg","caption":"Leonardo DiCaprio in Shutter Island","creditText":"Paramount / Everett","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/archive/6910713/box-office-shutter-island-tops-the-cops-and-the-crazies/","name":"Box Office: Shutter Island Tops the Cops and the Crazies"}}]}] ```
