The dream still runs our reality : 1. Chris Nolan's Inception for Warner Bros/Legendary Pictures was still the No. 1 movie for its 2nd weekend in release, inciting exactly the intense interest from watercooler talk everyone thought it would. It went into Friday having made $100+M in the U.S. and Canada in just 7 days -- only the 5th film and the only original 2D movie to accomplish that this year. Inception made a big $13.2M Friday and $16.6M Saturday from 3,792 locations for a Superglue-like hold of -31% compared to its opening Friday-Saturday-Sunday for a $43.5M weekend and new cume of $143.6M. Ah, what dreamy legs for Nolan and the great cast on this $160M-budget scifi caper. Internationally, Inception had made a World Cup-slowed $16.5M going into Friday. But this weekend, it added 29 markets including Australia, France, Japan and Mexico and rolls out in about 50 territories by August 1st. I'll have an update Sunday AM. Based on the calendar year, Warner Bros has crossed th...

Fun Fun: (H/t The 'Lo. ) Marvel vs Capcom 3 announces four more characters . I wonder who is the idiot that still believes in this guy ? Especially with how awful The Last Airbender was. Haha, idiot . Don't know if you remember this, but meet the math genius who declined a million dollars . Ha, this 15 year old got the best of Steve Jobs : Oh, Nick Lee, you clever boy you. See, Nick here tricked Apple with a very simple iPhone application: Handy Light. On the surface it looked just like any other $0.99 flashlight application. But, secretly, it was a lot more useful. And here is arguably the best "non-adult cartoon" on television today, the pilot for Total Drama World Tour: Your Fun Thread for today.

Just $76 million . Still very good, but I thought it would do even more: Warner Bros/Legendary Pictures' Inception generated an estimated $15.6M internationally with nearly 2.7M admissions from 1,753 screens in 7 markets. The studio plans a 3-week overseas roll-out for Chris Nolan's pic. This weekend, the UK delivered an outstanding £5.6M ($8.6M) from 451 situations nationwide, marking the biggest opening ever for a Leonardo Di Caprio film in that country. I figured with how this is THEE summer blockbuster for this year (and I'm not even talking about the quality of the movie, just on its hype and how it was given that label by everyone) that it would garner at like $90 million first week. Nevertheless, with the Oscar recognition it will receive and all, Nolan, Di Caprio (since it's his biggest debut ever) and everyone else won't complain at all. Which is a far far cry for nicolas Cage, Disney, and everyone else who had to take part of "The Sorcerer's...
