Sci-fi thriller “Inception” raked in $60.4 million over the weekend to lead the North American box office.
The film was directed by Christopher Nolan, also known for his directorial efforts in “The Dark Knight” and “Memento,” and stars Leonardo diCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Ken Watanabe and Cillian Murphy. It is getting rave reviews from critics and has earned an 84% favorable rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Animated feature “Despicable Me” took the second spot with $32.7 million. It features the voices of “The Office” star Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, and Jason Segel. It is also receiving lots of positive feedback from critics.
Buena Vista’s “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” took the third spot with $17.4 million, another disappointing finish from producer Jerry Bruckheimer. His last film was “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” and it performed below expectations as well.
Rounding up the top 5 were “Eclipse,” which earned $13.5 million and “Toy Story 3,” which earned $11.7 million.
