The Martian Hits the Cinema
5th October 2015
"The Martian on course for a Gravity-defying record at US box office".
Ridley Scott's space thriller "The Martian" scored a stellar $55m to top the US box office on its debut this weekend.
The impressive figures could yet see the critically acclaimed film overtake October record-holder Gravity when final figures are in: on estimates based on its Friday showing, Scott’s movie is just $700,000 short of the $55.7m record posted by Alfonso Cuarón’s Oscar-winning sci-fi thriller in 2013.
