'Inception' trumps 'Salt' with $43.5M weekend

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

'Inception' edges 'Salt' on Friday

Angelina Jolie's "Salt" gave "Inception" a run for its money with a $12.7 mil debut Friday versus "Inception's" $13.2 daily tally.

Senh: That's great hold for Inception, especially after a huge $62M opening. That's a solid debut for Salt. Angelina Jolie proves that as long as she's in an action movie, people will rush out to see it. Sandra Bullock might be the new queen of the romantic comedy, but Angelina Jolie is the queen of action films.

Critics Consensus: Salt Is Moderately Tasty

This week at the movies, we've got a spy on the run (Salt, starring Angelina Jolie and Liev Schreiber) and some feuding sisters (Ramona and Beezus, starring Selena Gomez and John Corbett). What do the critics have to say? Now that the Cold War is long over, they don't make thrillers like they used to. Oh, wait, maybe they do. The pundits say Salt is a solid, meat-and-potatoes spy flick with a standout performance from Angelina Jolie -- and, unfortunately, a completely preposterous plot.
