Inception Got Beat by Some Other Guys?! Yup.

Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, The Other Guys

Columbia TriStar

In Dom Cobb's wildest dream did he ever imagine being overshadowed by the post-Land of the Lost Will Ferrell?

No matter, because he did.

After a three-weekend run at No. 1, Inception (estimated $18.6 million Friday-Sunday) got beat good at the box office by Ferrell's and Mark Wahlberg's The Other Guys ($35.6 million).

More results:

• Actually, Ferrell is no longer the post-Land of the Lost Will Ferrell. With his best debut since 2006's Talledega Nights, he's back to being the pre-Land of the Lost Will Ferrell.

• The cop-spoofing The Other Guys is the steady Wahlberg's best debut since 2001's Planet of the Apes.

• Make no mistake, life remains a dream for Inception. The Christopher Nolan-Leonardo DiCaprio mind-bender has grossed more than $227 million domestically, and moved up to sixth place on the 2010 chart.

• Are reports of 3D's demise premature? Well, since Step Up 3D ($15.5 million) opened smaller than both of its two 2D predecessors, we're going to say not necessarily. And yet…

• Descpicable Me ($9.4 million), which, yes, did make some of its money from 3D, is the eighth film of the year to break $200 million—it's at about $210 million overall domestically.

• Toy Story 3 ($3 million), another credit to 3D, is now the biggest-grossing Disney animated film of all-time, the studio said, with a whopping $895 million worldwide take.

• As expected, Eclipse ($2.3 million; $293.1 million) dropped from the Top 10. It lasted there five weekends, the same number as both Twilight and New Moon.

• The $150 million The Sorcerer's Apprentice ($2.4 million; $111.3 million overall worldwide) is done after three weekends in the Top 10; Zac Efron's free-falling Charlie St. Cloud ($4.7 million; $23.5 million overall domestically) is still in the Top 10, but it's done, too.

Here's a complete look at the weekend's top-grossing films, per Friday-Sunday estimates compiled by Exhibitor Relations:
