Inception, the current no. 1 movie at the North American box office, crossed the $200m milestone on Tuesday, August 3, its 19th day out. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Christopher Nolan‘s thriller/sci-fier earned $4.12m for a cume of $201.7m, according to Box Office Mojo.
Co-starring Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ken Watanabe, Tom Hardy, and Michael Caine, Inception can be found a no. 35 on Box Office Mojo’s chart (not adjusted for inflation or 3D/IMAX surcharges) of the fastest movies to reach $200m at the US/Canada box office.
Inception is sandwiched between the comedy Meet the Fockers (2004) and Disney’s animated Finding Nemo (2003).
Additionally, Inception is only the seventh 2010 release to pass the $200m mark. It’s also the only original live-action movie (as in, not a sequel, not a remake, not based on a another property) to have achieved that feat.
