'Inception' sinks 'Schmucks' to No. 2 at b.o.

"Inception" ruled the North American box office for a third weekend on Sunday, fending off three middling newcomers led by "Dinner for Schmucks" at No. 2.

Senh: Inception is holding up really well. It's gotta be all those people watching it twice to figure out what's really going on.

Angelina Jolie's "Salt" gave "Inception" a run for its money with a $12.7 mil debut Friday versus "Inception's" $13.2 daily tally.

Senh: That's great hold for Inception, especially after a huge $62M opening. That's a solid debut for Salt. Angelina Jolie proves that as long as she's in an action movie, people will rush out to see it. Sandra Bullock might be the new queen of the romantic comedy, but Angelina Jolie is the queen of action films.

Leonardo DiCaprio's "Inception" is anything but a sleeper as the thriller opened big with $60.4 million and a No. 1 finish at the weekend boxoffice.

Senh: I'm surprised that The Sorcerer's Apprentice kinda tanked. It looks like an expensive film. Nicolas Cage looks kinda goofy in that role. Good to see Inception doing well, though. Christopher Nolan continues to draw audiences with his complex stories.

 

'Inception' is No. 1 on Friday: $21M

'Inception' is No. 1 on Friday: $21M

Christopher Nolan is having a fantastic Saturday. Jerry Bruckheimer is not. For the Dark Knight director scored over $21 million on Friday for his original, mind-bending film Inception. (That includes the $3 million brought in from the opening midnight shows.) The Leonardo DiCaprio-starrer, from Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures, could now earn $60 million for its three-day opening frame. That’s quite a contrast to The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Disney’s failed attempt to recreate the magic of The National Treasure franchise. The film from Treasure producer Bruckheimer, director Jon Turteltaub and star Nicolas Cage grossed an estimated $5 million on Friday for a weekend take that may just hit $15 million. The film opened on Wednesday but even those two days of grosses won’t help the film get much past $20 million for the five-day period.
