Notes:

  • Warner Bros.' Inception held on to the top spot for the third straight weekend, as the fantasy thriller took in an estimated $27.5 million, bringing its total to $193.3 million
  • As for new releases, Dinner for Schmucks, the Paramount comedy starring Steve Carell and Paul Rudd, followed closely behind Inception with $23.3 million. The Warner Bros. 3-D sequel Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore fetched $12.5 million in the #5 spot. And Charlie St. Cloud, the Universal Pictures drama starring Zac Efron, debuted weakly at #6 with $12.1 million.
