Leonardo DiCaprio's "Inception" has won a battle of superstar action thrillers over Angelina Jolie's "Salt" at the weekend box office.

"Inception" remained the No. 1 movie for the second-straight weekend with $43.5 million. The thriller that unfolds in people's dreams raised its 10-day total to $143.7 million.

The spy caper "Salt" debuted a solid No. 2 with $36.5 million.

Coming in at No. 3 with $24.1 million was Steve Carell's family hit "Despicable Me." The animated comedy raised its domestic total to $161.7 million.

In a rare convergence of fresh ideas, the top three movies all were original stories, not sequels or adaptations of comic books, bestsellers, video games or other pre-existing material....

Nicole Sperling of EW is happy...

Yay moviegoers! You are rewarding the best-reviewed movies of the summer with your pocketbook...

Next Up--Summer 201o begins it's final leg (boy that was fast!): Jay Roach hosts a Dinner for Schmucks; Zac Efron faces death and life in Charlie St. Cloud; And Cats & Dogs: The Revenge Of Kitty Galore is ummm...unleashed...in 3-D no less---ugh!
