Weekend Box Office Report: ‘Gravity’ Holds On, ‘Captain Phillips’ Launches and ‘Machete’ Doesn’t Kill
Despite a few new releases, this weekend was all about last week's champion. 'Gravity' held on to the number one spot with all of its might, showing that Alfonso Cuaron's space thriller may have some of the strongest legs of any major 2013 release.
Weekend Box Office Report: ‘Gravity’ is Out of This World
When a movie is sold as being the next incredible cinematic experience that will change the way we watch movies, expectations are huge. Audiences may scoff. It could all backfire.

Weekend Box Office Report: ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Boldly Goes to Number One
When is a $70 million opening not a success? When its predecessor opened to $75 million four years ago. This is the predicament facing 'Star Trek Into Darkness,' which opened at number one at box office while being something of a disappointment.
Weekend Box Office Report: ‘Iron Man 3′ and ‘The Greaty Gatsby’ Divide and Conquer
