Gravity has received huge praise from big-name film-makers like James Cameron and real life legends like Buzz Aldrin. It has been given a truly incredible number of positive reviews (in fact, with an average of 9.1/10 from well over a hundred reviews, it's one of the - if not the - most well reviewed films of all time on Rotton Tomatoes). It's wowed at film festivals, garnered heaps of Oscar talk, and is currently synonymous with "film of the year" comments from all quarters.
And now Alfonso Cuarón's Bullock/Clooney vehicle has racked up another accolade - by taking $55.5m in it's opening weekend, it's the most successful October launch in US cinema history.
Okay, so those aren't Avatar/Avengers Assemble level numbers, but for what is essentially a high-concept character drama, that's some seriously impressive take.
UK cinemagoers will get the chance to see what all the fuss is about when the film opens here on the 8th of November.
