'Inception' Takes Weekend Box Office, 'Nicolas Cage: Magician' Does Not
The box office got incepted so hard this weekend. Here's your top five:
1. Inception - $60.4 million. And people said you couldn't make money on a complex film based on dreaming and constant gunfire.
2. Despicable Me - $32.7 million, pretty much guaranteeing that those little yellow guys will get a primetime sitcom in CBS's fall lineup.
3. The Sorcerer's Apprentice - $17.3 million. It turns out people would still rather enjoy this tale with Mickey and music than Nicolas Cage and the nasally voice of Jay Baruchel.
4. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse - $13.5 million, and a few million more people who now have an actual, informed opinion on the Edward/Jacob debate.
5. Toy Story 3 - $11.7 million, because your kid still insisted on seeing this even though you pointed out to him that he saw that the last four weeks straight--and wouldn't you like to try something else out, champ? No, no, don't cry. Toy Story 3 it is.
