Christopher Nolan's mind-bending CGI-fest Inception remains number one at the US box office a full three weeks after release. It has even held off advances from three new films this week.

Paul Rudd/ Steve Carell chucklefest Dinner for Shmucks dined happily in second place with $23 million, while the sequel nobody asked for, Cats and Dogs: the Revenge of Kitty Galore coughed up a hairball in fifth with $12.5 million. The other entry, Charlie St Cloud opened in sixth with $12 million.
