Inception Hits Big at the Box Office

This news comes as no surprise but Warner Bros. must be extremely pleased to see that their new movie , Inception has done so well on it’s opening weekend. According to Box Office Mojo, Inception brought in a whopping $60.4m in North America with this becoming Leonardo DiCaprio’s best opening weekend beating his previous movie, Shutter Island which came out earlier in the year.

Despicable Me came in 2nd place taking a further $32m which is great to hear as I wasn’t expecting amazing things from Universal Pictures’ latest animation. Disney / Jerry Bruckheimer may be a little disappointed with their new movie, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice coming in third taking in $17.3m.

UK figures for the weekend haven’t been released as yet but I’ll update this post when they are – Inception will no doubt be top. It’ll be interesting to see how Toy Story 3 does this time next week as it’s released today with the school holidays starting either today or next Monday.
