Box Office Led By 'Gravity' Again

The box office (for the weekend of October 19th) is truly eating up the Sandra Bullock starrer, Gravity.  It netted another $31M, bringing it's domestic gross up to $170M.  (This is a good movie, whether you see it in 2 or 3D. Link leads to parent site,)

Captain Phillips, despite the bad or questionable press about the man, snagged an estimated $17.3M, while the newest opener at the box office, Carrie, netted just a wee bit less at $17M even.

After being out for four weeks, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 pulled in $10M. 

There are so few family offerings these days it does not surprise me it's hanging on in the top-five box office performers.

Escape Plan premiered this weekend to an estimated $9.8M opening.

Rounding out the top-ten estimated movies, we have Prisoners ($2.1M), Enough Said ($1.8M), The Fifth Estate ($1.7M), Runner Runner ($1.6M) and Insidious 2 dragged another $1.5M to its $80M domestic gross.

What a huge disparity between fifth and sixth...  $9.8M down to $2.1M... that's a huge gap.

Nor am I unhappy to see Fifth Estate flounder hard.  I am not a fan of glorifying the man this movie is about.
