‘Shutter Island’ Marks Highest Debut For Scorsese and DiCaprio


The fourth collaboration between Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio has proven to be their best. The duo have not only beat out 2002’s Gangs Of New York, 2004’s The Aviator, and 2006’s The Departed, but also their personal record. The Departed was previously Scorsese’s best with $26.8M, while Leo’s was $30M for Steven Spielberg’s Catch Me If You Can. We can all forget about that as Shutter Island made $40.2M this weekend. This puts it in the Top 20 R-rated openings of all-time as well as in the Top 10 February openings of all-time. Read the full story

The Wolfman Officially ‘R’


the-wolf-man-hhh

Thanks to a tweet by the official Universal Pictures twitter it’s confirmed that the upcoming horror remake The Wolfman, starring Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Hugo Weaving and Emily Blunt, has been rated R.

It reads: “... this just in: THE WOLFMAN has been rated ‘R’ for bloody horror, violence and gore. Get ready: February 12, 2010

This announcement comes after much debate over the film’s rating, along with many other things, most commonly the string of push backs the film’s release date has gotten and the recent hiring of industry editors Walter Murch (Apocalypse Now) and Mark Goldblatt (True Lies) to recut the film.

And while no one is saying the film is automatically going to be good because it is R, the fact that the studio has faith in a harder version of the film suggests something worth taking a risk on. Or perhaps they hope to milk the gore audience for all their worth? The Wolfman opens  February 12th, 2010.

What do you think about The Wolfman getting an R rating?
