"Gravity" hits record as best October movie opening ever

In space, no one can hear you scream.

Unless you're George Clooney and Sandra Bullock, in which case a record amount of people heard you scream.

Gravity lifted off this weekend with a soaring $55.5 million, the best October opening ever.

I haven't seen it yet, but plan to.  All I've heard are rave reviews.

And I love both of the movie's stars.
