Remember a month ago when the general public had no idea what Inception was? Here we are three weekends later and Christopher Nolan‘s latest is just about to pull in an insane $200 million. It topped the box office again with $27.52 million, just shy of making it in the Top 20 3rd weekends.
Jay Roach‘s latest comedy, Dinner For Schmucks, did better than expected, pulling in $23.3m, while Salt dropped 46.5%, bringing its total to $70.8m.
Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore and Zac Efron-starrer Charlie St. Cloud disappointed, only making around $12m each for 5th and 6th place.
Despicable Me is having a crazy run, dropping a small 34% making it Universal’s first $200m+ hit in 3 years.
In limited release The Kids Are All Right continues its blazing run making $3.4m for $9.5m total, over double its $4m budget. Get Low had the best per-theater-average this weekend, raking in $90,900 in 4 theaters.
