As the third weekend closes up for Inception, it is still showing its dominance dropping a mere 36% to bring in $27.5 million to stay number one in the box office. This brings the total to $193 million for three weeks. It's a good sign for this movie because the movie had a budget of $150 million. Considering few movies lately have made any money, it's good to see an original movie that has some smarts do well.
Dinner for Schmucks came in second with $23 million, and Salt came in third with $19.3 million. Here is the top 10 for the week:
BOX OFFICE TOP TEN
1. Inception - $27.5 million ($193.3 million total)
2. Dinner for Schmucks - $23.3 million ($23.3 million total)
3. Salt - $19.3 million ($70.8 million total)
4. Despicable Me - $15.5 million ($190.3 million total)
5. Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore - $12.5 million ($12.5 million total)
6. Charlie St. Cloud - $12.1 million ($12.1 million total)
7. Toy Story 3 - $5.0 million ($389.7 million total)
8. Grown Ups - $4.5 million ($150.7 million total)
9. The Sorcerer's Apprentice - $4.3 million ($51.9 million total)
10. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse - $4.0 million ($288.2 million total)
When I see a movie I really like, I always secretly (well, since I just admitted it, I guess it isn't so secretive) cheer for it to do well, and Inception is one of those movies.
Also, who would've thought Cats & Dogs: The revenge of Kitty Galore would actually make $12.5 million?
