Captain Phillips had a great start in its first weekend but still could not catch Gravity. The space drama fell only 21% grossing $44.2 million. That is an incredible holdover for a fall film. The great reviews and word of mouth (check out my review here) have made the wonderful film a true blockbuster. In two weeks it has grossed $191 million worldwide.

Tom Hanks may not have finished in first but he returned to theaters strong. Captain Phillips opened with $26 million, well above expectations. After a slow start to the year for award worthy movies, it looks like we have had two open up back to back with Gravity and Captain Phillips.

Machete Kills had a huge cast and a lot of promotion and could only manage a sad $3.7 million. It is the lowest gross for a movie opening in over 2,500 theaters in…well, forever.
