Inception resonated worldwide, grossing 824 million USD, winning four Oscars out of eight nominations.
To prepare for the role, Leonardo spent two months discussing with Nolan about the relationship between the character Cobb and his wife.
The film helped the actor earn more than 50 million USD from salaries and box office profits.
According to Hollywood Reporter, the work still attracts audiences after 10 years.

According to Forbes, the film’s success helped Leo usurp Will Smith’s `box office king` throne, held since 2000. The actor continuously had more popular films such as Django Unchained (425 million USD), The Great Gatsby (353 million USD).
Critics also rate the popularity of Leonardo DiCaprio and Will Smith very differently.
That difference helps separate Leo’s brand from other stars and actors in Hollywood’s highest paid group.

Scott Mendelson – Forbes critic – commented that the success of Inception proves that Leo is correct in his filmmaking thinking.
Thanks to occupying the `throne` in Hollywood, he is always the first name that companies look to when there is a potential project.
