Box Office Battle: "Inception" Grabs Slim Lead Over "Salt"

It sure looks like it will be another big weekend at the box office for the recently released flick, “Inception,” according to early estimates.

The film, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio, took the number one spot on its opening weekend and is predicted to stay there this weekend, as well, with earnings nearing $40 million.

Not far behind, however, is the highly-anticipated movie “Salt” starring Angelina Jolie. Estimates are leaning toward a $35 million opening weekend for the CIA thriller.

Another one to keep your eye on is the family-friendly “Ramona and Beezus” film starring Selena Gomez, which is expected to fare quite well during its opening weekend.
