The Crazies debuted in third place at $16.5 million!

No one will question Paramount Pictures’ decision to move Shutter Island out of last year’s crowded fall corridor into Spring 2010 after it racked up a number one slot for the second weekend in a row. For the Leonardo DiCaprio-Martin Scorsese pairing earned an estimated $22.2 million, out-grossing any new releases and putting its total box office at over $75 million. Of the new releases, Kevin Smith’s buddy comedy Cop Out, starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan, was the highest grosser with a $18.5 million opener and a second-place spot in the rankings. Overture Films’ R-rated horror film The Crazies debuted at $16.5 million for third place.

So third place is not so bad, I would’ve expected more but actually $16.5 million is not bad considering the film’s budget, so let’s see how it moves next weekend!
