Nolan psych heist stays strong into second frame by Andrew Stewart, published on Sunday, July 25, 2010 - 9:25am PT Moviegoers opted for less "Salt" with their popcorn this weekend, instead seasoning Warner Bros.' "Inception" with an estimated chart-topping $43.5 million in its second outing. Sony's Angelina Jolie-action thriller still played strong though, debuting in the No. 2 spot with $36.5 million at 3,612 engagements. Warner's cerebral pic weighed in heavily at the box office, down a slight 31% from last weekend, for a hefty Stateside cume of $143.7 million. Entering the weekend, some B.O. pundits questioned whether "Inception" would translate well in repeat frames, or whether auds would go for "Salt," a more traditional summer popcorn pic. Still, sizeable returns for both films helped boost the frame approximately 8% over the same weekend last year. The frame's other wide release, 20th Century Fox's kidlit adaptation "Ramona and Beezus," played well to its core young femme and family demos, scoring an estimated $8 million at 2,719 engagements. With a budget of $15 million, domestic debut kick started what could be a profitable run for "Ramona." Source: www.variety.com |
