Wiki News/'iCarly: The Movie' tops US box office

iCarly: The Movie held the top spot at the US Box Office this weekend (August 1) for the first time, reports Box Office Mojo.

The family comedy, starring Miranda Cosgrove, made an impressive £32.2 million over the weekend. That was a very close one from being defeate.

It still can dream big for Inception, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, made £17.4 million over the weekend, bringing its domestic total to £122.4 million.

The highest new box office entry was the Steve Carrell comedy Dinner for Schmucks, which made £14.7 million.

The Angelina Jolie film Salt slipped to fourth place, while Despicable Me slipped to the bottom top five with £9.8 million.

Cats And Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore opened in sixth place with a disappointing £7.9 million. Dan Fellman, president of domestic distribution at Time Warner, said: "We probably failed to create the same level of interest that we had in the original."

Meanwhile, Inception star DiCaprio caused headlines this weekend when it was rumoured that he had pulled out of an upcoming Mel Gibson movie. He allegedly does not want to be associated with the Oscar-winning actor/director after Gibson was caught on tape making offensive rants.
