Despite a divide in reactions along age lines, director Christopher Nolan’s thriller “Inception” opened to a strong $60.4 million, according to an estimate from distributor Warner Bros.

Walt Disney Studios’s new version of the classic tale “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” meanwhile, sold a weak $17.4-million worth of tickets this weekend and $24.5 million since it debuted Wednesday. That’s the worst opening for any big-budget film this summer.
