U.S. Marshal Edward "Teddy" Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) has come with his partner Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo) to isolated Shutter Island in Boston Harbor to track down an escaped patient from the insane asylum.

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...
