The comedy stylings of Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg provided enough of a kick to knock Christopher Nolan’s “Inception” out of the top box-office slot this weekend; “The Other Guys” pulled in $35.6 million, easily winning the frame. “Inception” remained a strong contender, taking second place with an $18.6 million gross; “Step Up 3D” came in third with $15.5 million.
And in other news, Patricia Neal, the Oscar-winning actress who survived both a series of strokes and a thirty-year marriage to Roald Dahl, has died at the age of 84 after a battle with lung cancer. Respect.
