Gravity earned $55.6 million topping the previous record held by Paranormal Activity 3 in 2011 with earnings of $52.6 million. The major score of Gravity made it hard for other films to keep up. Runner Runner, which starred Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake, brought in only 15% of what Gravity pulled in this opening wee. The film came in at third with an earning of $7.9 million domestically. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 landed the second spot with an earning of $21.5 million.

The Hugh Jackman Prisoners took the fourth spot with an earning of $5.7 million, while Rush, which starred Chris Hemsworth and Olivia Wilde and directed by Ron Howard, took on fifth with $4.5 million. The low budget Don Jon took on $4.2 million. Joseph Gordon-Levitt wrote, directed, and starred in the film alongside Scarlett Johansson.

The late James Gandolfini stars in Enough Said that wraps up the top ten. He starred alongside Julia Louis-Dreyfus in the romantic comedy, in the first post-death film. In its limited release, the film earned $2.1 million.
