Gravity's average rating is higher than any of those four.

Who care's about average rating or tomatometer anyways? It's not like it really tells which movie is better which.

The ratings in that site are fucked up for many movies.

I'm just saying that if someone uses that site average rating is more important than tomatometer.

Potent $6M MON for #Gravity, $61.8M in 1st 4days heading to near $80M in 1st full week. May crack $100M SAT. Stunning!

That Sunday to Monday drop is brilliant in October.

 

[y2dvd]

Gravity deserves all of that and then some. Great movie!

 

[Exterminieren]

Good, thoughtful, original IP smashing up the Box Office? Ooh, yes.

 

[Toxi]

Holy shit at Gravity. I guess the movie lived up to the trailer.

(Gotta go see it gotta go see it gotta go see it)

 

[Diprosalic]

holy fuck, just saw that gravity made 6 million on monday. wow.

6 million is pretty good for any Monday outside of the summer or a holiday.

 

[Diprosalic]

can't stop the Bullock train

 

[Matt_]

Is there an october record for a Monday gross? I'd assume Gravity would have that record too?

 

[Smellycat]

It made 6.6 million on tuesday, the movie should have no problem passing the 100 million dollar mark by the end of the weekend.

 

[watershed]

I hate having to wait another week to see Gravity, and I won't be able to see it in 3d!

 

[artist]

Mojo is calling for a 41M second weekened and 200M+ total for Gravity.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Yessssss. give more money to the cuaron machine

 

[PsihoPerihelion]

Woah, Gravity. Just woah.

Wow, 80% 3D share for Gravity. Nice.

I don't see Gravity getting a Best Picture Oscar, but I think it's a lock for a nomination, as well as noms for best director, cinematography, sound, etc

It's going to swept the techs. That's for sure.

Toy Story 3. 99% with 265 reviews.
Finding Nemo. 99% with 238 reviews.
The Wrestler. 98% with 218 reviews.
The Artist. 98% with 222 reviews.

Quite a few more as well.

Still an impressive achievement.

The Artist got a 98% RT? Fuck me and my entire family :/

Reading reports that Gravity's estimate for this weekend after Friday's haul is pointing towards a 20% drop weekend to weekend.

edit: okay, Deadline Hollywood has Friday-to-Friday as 27%

I can believe it; I rewatched it yesterday, and the theater was a third full for the first showing of the day.

WOM is absolutely tremendous.

 

[Dany]

Only 20%? Fantastic.

 

[jtb]

anyone know what the budget was like for Captain Phillips?

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

anyone know what the budget was like for Captain Phillips?

Probably not much. Hanks said he filmed for like a total of 10 weeks.

EDIT-55 million. It'll easily crush that.

 

[Matt_]

$12.7 M friday for Gravity (-27.3%)
$8.5M for Captain Phillips

 

[DiddyBop]

I'm not surprised at gravity's success. Word of mouth has been very good and there has been a serious box office drought these past 6ish weeks. This is the quality blockbuster people have been waiting for

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Shoulda got Cuaron to do Superman

 

[kswiston]

A 27% drop on Friday for Gravity is pretty amazing. The weekend drop should be in the low 20s, giving it a second weekend over $40M. A domestic tally of over $200M is going to be more or less locked at this point.

Good start for Captain Philips. An opening in the mid 20s would put it on track for $100M if legs hold up.

Machete Kills should have skipped the theatrical release.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Yeah, Machete Kills needed to come out within a year of Machete. It took way too long and that particular novelty doesn't have the same appeal anymore. People are generally tired of Rodriguez's shit.

(I still really wanna see it, though, and I LOVE that Danny Trejo is the center of this series)

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Wow. Machete Bombs. Well, I know the showing I go to later tonight won't be packed.

 

[kswiston]

Official Weekend Box Office Estimates:

Gravity - $44.3M (-20%) - $123M total

Gravity will easily be the highest grossing original film of the year. $200M is pretty much locked. $250M could happen, depending on legs next weekend.

Can NOT stop the Bullock train.
