With four films bowing in more than 1,000 theaters, it's going to be crowded at the boxoffice this weekend. But it looks like none of the wide releases will be able to usurp the momentum of Warner Bros. Pictures' Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. In fact, it remains to be seen whether second-place Wedding Crashers from New Line Cinema will topple from its perch in its sophomore session. Gunning for the top two films is the DreamWorks-Warner Bros. Pictures co-production The Island from summer-blockbuster director Michael Bay. Branching out for the first time from his long-term producing partner Jerry Bruckheimer, Bay is directing his first true sci-fi film without top Hollywood stars. He does have Steven Spielberg behind him; it was the famed director who initially approached Bay with the original script from Caspian Tredwell-Owen. Starring Scarlett Johansson and Ewan McGregor, the PG-13 Island revolves around two people living in a seemingly utopian society who discover that their entire lives are a lie and plan an escape. Rounding out the cast are Djimon Hounsou, Sean Bean, Steve Buscemi and Michael Clarke Duncan. »
