The movie\u00a0Gravity<\/a>\u00a0has moved from just a successful film to the category of “phenomena”: \u00a0Why the World is Watching ‘Gravity’ – WSJ.com<\/a><\/p>\n

If current trends continue, “Gravity” is likely to end up grossing more than $500 million world-wide, territory rarely seen by movies that aren’t based on a comic book or toy and released in summertime or holiday season.
