"Inception" Wins the Weekend Box Office...
Leonardo DiCaprio and Christopher Nolan's "Inception" is anything but a sleeper as the thriller opened big with $60.4 million and a No. 1 finish at the weekend box office, according to studio estimates Sunday.
The Warner Bros. action tale about a team that sneaks into people's dreams is DiCaprio's biggest opening weekend, topping his previous best of $41.1 million for last winter's "Shutter Island." I saw the movie this past weekend and quite enjoyed it. I thought it was a fresh approach on a movie plot. Very imaginative. Not that predictable. I've seen it referred to on Twitter as "the thinking man's movie" I can agree with that. It was an entertaining psychological thriller.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Final figures will be released Monday.
1. "Inception," $60.4 million.
2. "Despicable Me," $32.7 million.
3. "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," $17.4 million.
4. "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," $13.5 million.
5. "Toy Story 3," $11.7 million.
6. "Grown Ups," $10 million.
7. "The Last Airbender," $7.5 million.
8. "Predators," $6.8 million.
9. "Knight and Day," $3.7 million.
10. "The Karate Kid," $2.2 million.

Denzel Washington & Viola Davis Win Tony's for "Fences"
Viola Davis, winner of the Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Play award for her work in "Fences" and Denzel Washington, winner of the award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Play for his work, also in "Fences," posed at the American Theatre Wing's 64th annual Tony Awards ceremony in New York, June 13, 2010.
"Fences," a revival of August Wilson's deeply personal drama about family, won for best revival of a play. Its two stars, Washington and Viola Davis, won for best actors in a play. Even their acceptance speeches seemed to complement each other.
"My mother always says, `Man gives the award, God gives the reward.' I guess I got both tonight," Denzel Washington said after winning for his performance as the sanitation man who might have been a baseball star.
"I don't believe in luck or happenstance. I absolutely believe in the presence of God in my life," said Viola Davis, honored for playing Washington's all-sacrificing wife. "It feels like such a divine experience eight times a week." Congratulations to both of them. See a complete list of 2010 Tony Winners HERE.
