The Island Sinks at Box Office "Sci-Fi Gets Sexy!" screams the cover of Entertainment Weekly, which features a lachrymose-looking Ewan McGregor and a befuddled-looking Scarlett Johansson in possibly the most un-sexy cover shot in recent memory. The two (who look much better in the trailers) are starring in The Island, a futuristic thriller about cloning. And an island. Ok, we haven't actually seen it yet, but the trailers looked great. Unfortunately, it appears that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Wedding Crashers kicked The Island right in the archipelago this past weekend: The Island only made $12.4 million, coming in at fourth place. That's a big disappointment for Dreamworks. Still, it's puzzling...Obi Wan plus Scarlett Johansson in a white catsuit, plus motorcycle stunts and cloning. What's not to like?
