For the 3rd week in a row now, Christopher Nolan’s Inception has stolen the number one spot at the weekend box office. Pulling in an impressive $27.5 million over the weekend, the sci-fi thriller managed to beat out new-comer Dinner for Schmucks, which earned a decent $23.5 million. With only a 35% drop-off from the previous week, Inception is proving to have longer legs than your run-of-the-mill summer action movie. Positive word-of-mouth and a still prominent media campaign is pushing the film closer and closer to the $200 million mark. And with a US total of $193.3 million, it’s not far off!
Even more impressively, Inception‘s worldwide tally is racing towards the $400 million mark with an estimated $364 million in total. How many times have you seen Inception in theaters?

Inception racked up an impressive $42.7 million this weekend, dropping just 32% from its $62.3 million opening according to Box Office Mojo. That strong hold (the smallest second weekend drop so far this year) was enough to top Angelina Jolie’s Salt, a close #2 with a solid $36 million weekend. Inception‘s domestic total now stands at $142.8 million, just shy of the reported $160 million production cost. The film should pass $200 million next week, and Dan Fellman, head of distribution at Warner Bros, thinks Inception “has a good shot at topping $300 million.”
Foreign tallies for Inception have reached an estimated $84 million, bringing the worldwide gross to $226.9 million after 10 days.

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.
Batman 3 News Rumors
Posted on Wednesday, July 21, 2010 at 1:03 am by TeddyBlass
FirstShowing.net is reporting they have a “reliable inside source” with a studio casting grid that has The Riddler listed as the villian for Batman 3. With this year’s San Diego Comic Con starting up this week, many have been suspecting some sort of announcement regarding the much anticipated follow-up to 2008′s The Dark Knight. Rumors surrounding this project have been absolutely bonkers in the past, but FirstShowing is saying “this news should be considered confirmation that The Riddler is the villain” in Batman 3. They’re also saying that the actor currently listed on that same casting grid is none other than Inception‘s Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He is listed as “interested” next to The Riddler, despite the age listed for the mysterious villian being 35-45. Joe is only 29 by the way. So how accurate could this all be? They want to keep the JGL part listed a rumor, but The Riddler part as confirmed.
Get the full scoop on the “rumor” and the “confirmation” over at FirstShowing.net
