Instead, Shutter Island killed, and the Paramount brass looks like a winning brain trust. According to studio estimates, the movie will have earned $40.2 million in its first three days. That's the biggest debut weekend for any Scorsese picture (The Departed was his previous top opener), and any DiCaprio (yes, including Titanic).

After a few takes at the starting line, Khan has to run against several of the Sappers, who are extras in the film. His pale gangly legs don't quite match their tanned...
