And the box office champion this week is...

LOS ANGELES – 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."

"Inception" falls far short of director Christopher Nolan's best, though. Nolan is the man who directed the Batman blockbuster "The Dark Knight," which opened over the same weekend two years ago with a record $158.4 million.

Warner Bros. has carved out a niche with this particular mid-July weekend. The studio followed "The Dark Knight" with a $77.8 million opening for "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" over the same weekend last year.

"We like this spot. Not to sound superstitious, but stay away from this weekend. I own it," said Dan Fellman, head of distribution for Warner Bros.

The final "Harry Potter" movie debuts on the same weekend next summer. Warner plans to open Nolan's third "Batman" movie over that weekend two years from now, though Fellman said the studio could move it to an earlier date that summer.

Strong reviews helped "Inception," which stars DiCaprio as leader of a team that normally breaks into people's dreams to steal their secrets but now has been hired to do the opposite — plant an idea in a wealthy heir's subconscious.

Slipping to second place with $32.7 million was the previous weekend's No. 1 movie, Steve Carell's animated hit "Despicable Me." The Universal release raised its 10-day total to $118.4 million.

Disney's family adventure "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" was a dud, opening at No. 3 with $17.4 million, lifting its total to $24.5 million since premiering Wednesday.

"It's disappointing to say the least," said Chuck Viane, head of distribution for Disney, which had high hopes for the movie. "I'm perplexed. I have no response, because I honestly don't know what went wrong."

The movie reunites the team behind the hit "National Treasure" movies — Nicolas Cage, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Jon Turteltaub — for an action comedy about an ancient wizard training an awkward apprentice (Jay Baruchel) to take down an evil sorceress in modern Manhattan.

Bruckheimer has been a blockbuster producer for Disney with such hits as "The Rock," "Armageddon" and the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise.

But "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" was the summer's second Disney-Bruckheimer production to come up short at the domestic box office, following "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time," which was unable to crack the $100 million mark.

"Jerry's working on 'Pirates 4' as we speak," Viane said of the Johnny Depp sequel due out next summer. "I'll go to bat with Jerry any day, because his track record is pretty darn good."

With "Inception" and "Despicable Me," the weekend marked a rare instance when two original stories — not sequels, spinoffs or adaptations of comic books, best-sellers or other properties — led the box office.

Hollywood relies on familiar titles such as "Iron Man 2," "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" and "Toy Story 3" for most of its big summer releases, though the occasional fresh idea manages to score with audiences.

"We let all of the sequels and popcorn films come out and get the summer rolling, then we come in here with this original concept," Fellman said of "Inception." "We're in a good place to run now for the rest of the summer."

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.

Hombre muere mientras veia Twilight: Eclipse!

Wow!

Via: LOS ANGELES 6 (EUROPA PRESS)

Un hombre ha muerto mientras veía Eclipse, la tercera entrega de la saga Crepúsculo. El triste suceso ha ocurrido en Nueva Zelanda, concretamente en la ciudad de Wellington, donde un joven de 23 años fue hallado muerto en su butaca al término de la proyección de la cinta que protagonizan Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart y Taylor Lautner.

Según informan los medios locales, la policía señaló que el fallecido no presentaba ningún signo de violencia ni ninguna anomalía que se pudiera apreciar en un primer examen ocular. De hecho, el personal del cine creía que se había dormido durante la película, proyectada en la sesión de las seis de la tarde (hora local).

Así, después de que la totalidad del público abandonara la sala intentaron despertarlo en varias ocasiones hasta comprobar que no reaccionaba. Fue entonces cuando avisaron a una ambulancia, pero los facultativos que acudieron al cine a socorrer al individuo solo pudieron certificar su defunción.

El joven, al parecer un viajero que iba de aquí para allá por todo el país, acudió solo al cine para ver Eclipse y ahora la policía espera que la autopsia revele las causas de esta misteriosa muerte.

The Box Office Champ this week is...

Yes, Twilight:Eclipse. But the surprise was "The Last Airbender".

From Box Office Mojo;

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse didn't live up to its name in relation to its predecessor but it delivered a massive start in its own right. Throw in a sizable debut for The Last Airbender, and Independence Day weekend was capped by the initial bursts of two fan-driven pictures. The weekend's overall gross was up 16 percent over last year when Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs were on top, but attendance was nothing special.

Showing at a record 4,468 locations (but far from a record screen count), Eclipse drew less over the three-day weekend than it did on its first day: an estimated $66 million. That ranked as the third highest-grossing Independence Day opening weekend ever, behind Spider-Man 2's $88.2 million and Transformers' $70.5 million. The top weekends for this holiday tend to be muted mostly due to the movies burning off some demand with weekday debuts, and Eclipse was no different, giving it the appearance of paling in comparison to The Twilight Saga: New Moon's $142.8 million first weekend and even the first Twilight's $69.6 million.

For the four-day weekend, Eclipse came in at an estimated $82.5 million, trailing Spider-Man 2's $115.8 million. In six days, Eclipse has pulled in $175.3 million, ranking as the eighth highest-grossing six-day start ever, falling short of New Moon's $178.9 million but nearly doubling Twilight's $88.1 million. Spider-Man 2, which also opened on Wednesday, June 30, back in 2004, made $180.2 million in its first six days or the equivalent of over $230 million adjusted for ticket price inflation, and had a far less front-loaded pattern than Eclipse, which generated over 39 percent of that $175.3 million on its first day alone.

New Moon was the most front-loaded blockbuster of all time, grossing 48 percent of its $296.6 million final tally on its first weekend alone, so Eclipse has merely followed in its footsteps. After Twilight laid the goundwork, the franchise seemingly reached full saturation with New Moon, leaving few left for Eclipse to touch. Typically, after the peak audience sampling (usually with the first or second movie), it's a matter of retention for later sequels, not growth.

Eclipse opened only seven months after New Moon, and no franchise on record has gone unscathed by such a short window. If Eclipse ultimately retains 75 percent or more of New Moon's audience (which it should easily do), it will be a relatively more successful sequel than the third movies in The Matrix, Pirates of the Caribbean and Back to the Future series. Distributor Summit Entertainment relied on the rabidity of Twilight fans, those fans' fondness for Stephenie Meyer's third book and the promise of an action-packed climax to overcome the short wait and moviegoers' mixed reaction to New Moon.

Summit's weekend exit polling indicatetd that 65 percent of the audience was female, and 55 percent was 21 years of age and older. That's more male and older than New Moon, which was 80 percent female and 50 percent under 21, but New Moon's first weekend included its opening day, when the series' young female devotees are in maximum force.

The Last Airbender harnessed an estimated $40.5 million at 3,169 locations over the three-day weekend. With Monday, its four-day weekend was an estimated $53.2 milion, bringing its five-day start to $70.5 million. That stood as writer-director M. Night Shyamlan's third highest-grossing opening behind Signs and The Village. The adaptation of the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender apparently had a significant built-in fanbase, because the picture's marketing did little to capture the uninitiated, besides showing off the movie's fantastical action and special effects.

Though attendance wasn't as high as Pokemon: The First Movie's debut, The Last Airbender has out-grossed the entire run of The Forbidden Kingdom (after out-gunning Dragonball Evolution on its first day alone), and its four-day start out-paced Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time's by 50 percent. 54 percent of Airbender's gross came from 3D presentations at 1,606 locations. Distributor Paramount Pictures' research showed that half the audience was parents and their children 17 years old and younger.
