First Place – Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg‘s comedy The Other Guys held strong in first place yesterday, earning another $3.77 million to nearly break the $50 million mark, which it will surely pass today.

Second Place – Christopher Nolan‘s Inception once again remained in second place Wednesday, grossing another $2.22 million for a whopping $235 million total since its opening almost a month ago.
Third Place – The 3D dance pic Step Up 3D continued to hold off Despicable Me to keep its 3rd place slot on Wednesday, taking in just over $1.5 million for a cumulative gross of some $21.5 million since its Friday opening.
