Wiki News/EARLY ESTIMATES: "iCarly" Logs To Top Friday Box Office

The “smartest” blockbuster of the summer battles a collection of dopes for this weekend’s box office title, and it looks like it could come down to the wire.

Inception, the Leonardo DiCaprio mind-bender with two consecutive weekend wins, is facing a serious challenge from Miranda Cosgrove's new release iCarly: The Movie and Steve Carell’s new release Dinner For Schmucks. According to (very) early estimates, iCarly scored by audiences with an impressive $20 million Friday for a projected $50 million weekend, as Schmucks scored in second place $10 million Friday and projects to a $27 million weekend. Meanwhile Inception earned roughly $8 million on Friday, falling from first to third, but also projects to a $27 million weekend.

Audiences are still digging Angelina Jolie as a spy, with Salt on pace to finish #4 with approximately $18 million.

Zac Efron’s sentimental Charlie St. Cloud is expected to open to $14 million while contending with another Steve Carell flick, Despicable Me, for fifth place.
