Yes, alright, Inception is quite good. Yes, people are watching it more than once to work it all out.
But seriously. How many times does it take? Inception is now enjoying its third week at the top of the box office, with many of the receipts coming from repeat viewings. So, look, let’s save you some money – and if you haven’t watched Inception yet, don’t keep reading – it was all a dream. The ending was a dream. A dream within a dream within a dream. No, wait, a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream. No, hang on, a dream within a… oh, bugger it all to hell. We’ll have to go and watch it again too now.
Full Inception-heavy US weekend box office top five after the jump…
1 – Inception (Apparently spinning tops are going to be the big must-have toy this Christmas. In shit houses that can’t afford PlayStations) $27,520,000
2 – Dinner For Schmucks (Presumably Come Dine With Me: The Motion Picture. We haven’t been able to check otherwise) $23,300,000
3 – Salt (Now officially the best ever film about some salt since 1976’s Sodium-Based Products Of Our Time: NaHCO3 – Na2S2O3 ? 5H2O. So well done for that) $19,250,000
4 – Despicable Me (No, still nothing to say about this. Move along) $15,543,000
5 – Cats & Dogs: The Revenge Of Kitty Galore (Who knew that the unwanted sequel to a forgotten, underperforming animal-based comedy from nine years ago would fare so badly at the weekend box office? What’s that? Everyone? Oh) $12,525,000
