Leonardo's ‘Inception’ Surpasses Box-Office Dreams

'Inception' has proven that movies don’t have to be in sequels or even animated to do wonders when it comes to  box-office business during the summer.

“Inception,” is described as a complex dramatic thriller about dream invasion. It was at No. 1 at North American theaters over the weekend with $60.4 million in ticket sales.

That number of sales gave the star of “Inception,” Leonardo DiCaprio, the biggest opening of his career. (While “Titanic,” which starred Mr. DiCaprio, went on to become one of the highest-grossing films ever made, it took in $28 million on its first weekend.)

According to Dan Fellman, president for domestic distribution at Warner Brothers,“Being original and fresh and different matters in this marketplace, and this movie had all of those things.”

“Inception,”  won mostly positive reviews from critics. This movie was written and directed by Christopher Nolan, the cinematic powerhouse behind films like “The Dark Knight” and “Memento.”
