地心引力》势不可挡。这部由桑德拉·布洛克(Sandra Bullock)和乔治·克鲁尼(George Clooney)联袂主演的以太空为背景的电影轻松蝉联周末票房榜冠军，吸金4,430万美元，美国和加拿大上映两周总票房达到1.234亿美元。相比上映第一周，时代华纳(Time Warner Inc.)旗下华纳兄弟(Warner Bros.)发行的这部影片第二周票房仅下滑21%。
There's no holding 'Gravity' down.
这部获得影评人士交口称赞的电影抵挡住了新上映的、面向成年观众的《菲利普斯船长》(Captain Phillips)的竞争。《菲利普船长》是索尼公司(Sony Corp.)旗下索尼动画(Sony Pictures Animation)最新推出的一部电影，主演汤姆·汉克斯(Tom Hanks)饰演一位船长，他的船被索马里海盗劫持。该片上映首周末票房2,600万美元，排名第二，这也是汉克斯自2009年《天使与魔鬼》(Angels and Demons)之后的首部真人动作大片。这部电影的制作成本大约5,500万美元，观影者在CinemaScore给出的评级为"A"，这将帮助该片在接下来的几周内继续获得不错的票房。
The Sandra Bullock-George Clooney space drama comfortably held on to the top spot at the box office for the second weekend in a row, collecting an estimated $44.3 million to bring its two-week total to $123.4 million in the U.S. and Canada. The movie from Time Warner Inc.'s (TWX) Warner Bros. slipped just 21% from its openingweekend performance.
索尼动画的续集电影《美食从天而降2》(Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2)上映第三周排名第三，票房1,420万美元，累计票房达到7,800万美元。
The critically acclaimed movie fended off fresh competition for the adult audience from 'Captain Phillips,' the latest from Sony Corp.'s (SNE, 6758.TO) Sony Pictures Entertainment starring Tom Hanks as the captain of a ship hijacked by Somali pirates. It premiered in second place with a healthy $26 million, giving Mr. Hanks his first live-action hit since 'Angels and Demons' in 2009. The movie cost about $55 million to make, and an 'A' CinemaScore grade from moviegoers should help it stay afloat in the coming weeks.
《地心引力》继续在高价和大银幕放映场次赢得上佳表现，其周末票房收入有82%来自3D版，20%是在IMAX影院实现的。与其他秋季上映的电影截然不同的是，这部电影在工作周表现依然出色，平均周中票房580万美元。
Sony Pictures Animation holdover 'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2' came in third place in its third week, grossing $14.2 million for a cumulative $78 million.
上周末其他大规模上映的影片表现不佳。Open Road Films推出的《弯刀杀戮》(Machete Kills)上映首周末票房380万美元，远远低于第一部《弯刀》(Machete)在2010年1,140万美元的首周末票房。该片由罗伯特·罗德里格兹(Robert Rodriguez)执导，主演丹尼·特乔(Danny Trejo)饰演一名被美国总统雇来阻止华盛顿特区一场杀戮的前间谍。
'Gravity' continued to perform well in premium and large-format screenings, with 82% of its weekend tickets sold for 3-D screenings, and about 20% in IMAX theaters. The movie has distinguished itself from other fall releases by performing well during the work week, averaging $5.8 million midweek.
