Meanwhile Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity which debuted on October 4 is still on the top 10 movies (position six with $6.3 million) after an incredible long run, and Warner Bros has announced that the space drama has now passed the $500 million dollar mark at the global box office, earning $240.6 million domestically and $274.3 million internationally:
“This is an outstanding achievement for Alfonso, Sandy and George, and the film’s extraordinary team of innovative artists. We congratulate all of those who brought to life a film that is not only creatively groundbreaking but also beloved by both critics and audiences worldwide”.
