Wiki News/iCarly: The Movie Goes on Fun Adventure, Inception Goes On Boring Adventure at Friday Box Office

Both new releases - The TV sitcom film adaptation iCarly: The Movie starring Miranda Cosgrove and the new comedy Dinner For Schmucks starring Steve Carell and Paul Rudd beat Christopher Nolan's Inception by a hair at the Friday box office, $19.6 million and $8.4 million to $8.1 million, while the other two newcomers are a ways off. Even though Inception falls from first to third place on Friday, it is predicted to top Dinner For Schmucks through Sunday by $27 million to $24 million based on word-of-mouth and advance ticket sales. A win for Inception is no longer a match, as iCarly: The Movie will be the winner this weekend with an outstanding $50 million from over 4,060 screens.

Charlie St. Cloud with Zac Efron placed fourth on Friday below Salt with $5.6 million while Cats & Dogs 2: The Revenge of Kitty Galore could not take advantage of 3D ticket prices and made at most $4.2 million on Friday. The pet pack should come in closer to $10 million than $15 million through Sunday.

Check back tomorrow afternoon for the complete weekend box office results.
