Inception Breaks $100 Million in 7 Days

Posted on Friday, July 23, 2010 at 4:16 pm by AlexHaas

Box Office Mojo is reporting that Thursday’s estimate in the box office was enough to push Christopher Nolan‘s latest film, Inception, beyond the $100 million mark. It certainly is an astonishing feat to break the $100 million barrier in seven days for a film that is neither a sequel nor a remake.

Christopher Nolan’s seventh feature film raked in $62,785,337 at the box office during its opening weekend and will begin opening wide releases in more countries soon. Yesterday, Inception entered theaters all across Europe and today marks the opening for Mexico and Japan.

At the time of writing, Inception still remains the #1 movie in America for its seventh consecutive day.

Brilliant! I hope it defeats Salt in the box office.

Ebert gave Inception 4 stars. Rightly deserved.

Ebert gave Salt 4 stars. WTF!!!!! No way. I just can’t believe it. I’m gonna have to go see this now. I trust Ebert and he’s usually got the same stance on movies I’ve got. Usually.

Here’s hoping Inception kicks Salt’s butt in the cinemas!!!!

Well deserved, Christopher Nolan and co. Well deserved indeed. This is my favorite movie of all time, I have seen it twice in IMAX, and plan on going again. I hope it does well in other countries. (I’m from America by the way )

The reviews for Salt aren’t scathing or anything, I’m really not sure if it’ll push Inception down at the box office. I hope it doesn’t.

Inception is a bizarre flick. I think the main part in the movie is played by… Architecture (not actually by Leonardo DiCaprio). I wrote a weird piece about it called Inception of Architecture
