"Batman & Robin"? Yep, somehow Clooney's career -- which has clearly improved post-"Batman," had never offered him an opening weekend of over $45 million until "Gravity" came along. The closest that came to it was Joel Schumacher's final nail in the first "Batman" series, which ended up a huge disappointment when it finished with a $107.3 mlilion final gross.Notably, Clooney's been something of a grower at the box office. While "Batman" is his highest opening weekend, it comes in at #5 in terms of final grosses, and will surely be #6 within a week or two given the promise "Gravity" has shown. So while topping "Batman" is a given, can "Gravity" end up beating out the "Ocean's" films and "The Perfect Storm"? It's quite likely. Though in doing so it would become the first film released in October to ever gross over $170 million. Here's Clooney's top 10 overall grossers below, ranked by unadjusted final gross. "Gravity" is already #10 -- outgrossing "Syriana," "Michael Clayton," "O Brother Where Art Thou," "The Ides of March" and "The American" in just 3 days (note that the adjusted numbers are listed too -- and that's where it will be tough for "Gravity" to rise to the too). Keep in mind of the 10 films listed, "Gravity" is also the only one where Clooney isn't the lead role. And it's probably safe to say he is not the #1 (or #2) reason most folks saw the film.1. Ocean's Eleven (2001)Opening Weekend: $38.1 millionFinal Gross: $183.5 million(Adjusted For Inflation: $261.7 million)2. The Perfect Storm (2000)Opening Weekend: $41.3 millionFinal Gross: $182.7 million(Adjusted For Inflation: $276.5 million)3. Ocean's Twelve (2004)Opening Weekend: $39.2 millionFinal Gross: $125.5 million(Adjusted For Inflation: $163.9 million)4. Ocean's Thirteen (2007)Opening Weekend: $36.1 millionFinal Gross: $117.2 million(Adjusted For Inflation: $163.9 million)5. Batman and Robin (1997)Opening Weekend: $42.9 millionFinal Gross: $107.3 million(Adjusted For Inflation: $190.8 million)6. Up In The Air (2009)Opening Weekend: $1.2 millionFinal Gross: $83.9 million(Adjusted For Inflation: $87.6 million)7. The Descendants (2011)Opening Weekend: $1.2 millionFinal Gross: $82.6 million(Adjusted For Inflation: $85.6 million)8.

from… “Batman & Robin”? Yep, somehow Clooney’s career — which has clearly improved post-“Batman,” had never offered him an opening weekend of over $45 million until “Gravity” came along. The closest that came to it was Joel Schumacher’s final nail in the first “Batman” series, which ended up a huge disappointment when it finished with a $107.3 mlilion final gross.</p> <p>Notably, Clooney’s been something of a grower at the box office. While “Batman” is his highest opening weekend, it comes in at #5 in terms of final grosses, and will surely be #6 within a week or two given the promise “Gravity” has shown. So while topping “Batman” is a given, can “Gravity” end up beating out the “Ocean’s” films and “The Perfect Storm”? It’s quite likely. Though in doing so it would become the first film released in October to ever gross over $170 million. </p> <p> <div class="admz" id="adm-inline-article-ad-1"> <div class="adma boomerang" data-device="Desktop" data-width="300"> <div style="min-width:50px;min-height:75px;" class="pmc-adm-boomerang-pub-div ad-text" data-priority="10"> <div id="gpt-iw-article-mid-article-uid0" class="adw-300 adh-250" data-is-adhesion-ad=""> <script type="application/javascript"> blogherads.adq.push(function () { blogherads .defineSlot( 'medrec', 'gpt-iw-article-mid-article-uid0' ) .setTargeting( 'pos', ["mid","mid-article1","mid-articleX","mid-article"] ) .setSubAdUnitPath("ros\/mid-article") .addSize([[300,250],[300,251],[970,251],[620,350],[2,4],[4,2],[2,2]]) ; }); </script> </div> </div> </div> </div> </p> <p>Here’s Clooney’s top 10 overall grossers below, ranked by unadjusted final gross. “Gravity” is already #10 — outgrossing “Syriana,” “Michael Clayton,” “O Brother Where Art Thou,” “The Ides of March” and “The American” in just 3 days (note that the adjusted numbers are listed too — and that’s where it will be tough for “Gravity” to rise to the too). Keep in mind of the 10 films listed, “Gravity” is also the only one where Clooney isn’t the lead role. And it’s probably safe to say he is not the #1 (or #2) reason most folks saw the film.</p> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220126171338im_/https://www.indiewire.com/wp-content/plugins/lazy-load-0.7/images/1x1.trans.gif" title="Ocean's Eleven" data-lazy-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220126171338/https://dl9fvu4r30qs1.cloudfront.net/95/85cfa0509511e2b13b22000a1d0930/file/Oceans-Eleven.jpg"><noscript><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220126171338im_/https://dl9fvu4r30qs1.cloudfront.net/95/85cfa0509511e2b13b22000a1d0930/file/Oceans-Eleven.jpg" title="Ocean's Eleven"/></noscript> <p>1. <b>Ocean’s Eleven</b> (2001)<br/>Opening Weekend: $38.1 million<br/>Final Gross: $183.5 million<br/>(Adjusted For Inflation: $261.7 million)</p> <p>2. <b>The Perfect Storm</b> (2000)<br/>Opening Weekend: $41.3 million<br/>Final Gross: $182.7 million<br/>(Adjusted For Inflation: $276.5 million)</p> <p>3. <b>Ocean’s Twelve</b> (2004)<br/>Opening Weekend: $39.2 million<br/>Final Gross: $125.5 million<br/>(Adjusted For Inflation: $163.9 million)</p> <p>4. <b>Ocean’s Thirteen</b> (2007)<br/>Opening Weekend: $36.1 million<br/>Final Gross: $117.2 million<br/>(Adjusted For Inflation: $163.9 million)</p> <p>5. <b>Batman and Robin</b> (1997)<br/>Opening Weekend: $42.9 million<br/>Final Gross: $107.3 million<br/>(Adjusted For Inflation: $190.8 million)</p> <p>6. <b>Up In The Air</b> (2009)<br/>Opening Weekend: $1.2 million<br/>Final Gross: $83.9 million<br/>(Adjusted For Inflation: $87.6 million)</p> <p>7. <b>The Descendants</b> (2011)<br/>Opening Weekend: $1.2 million<br/>Final Gross: $82.6 million<br/>(Adjusted For Inflation: $85.6 million)</p> <p>8. <b>Three Kings</b> (1999)<br/>Opening Weekend: $15.9 million<br/>Final Gross: $60.7 million<br/>(Adjusted For Inflation: $97.3 million)</p> <p>9. <b>Burn After Reading</b> (2008)<br/>Opening Weekend: $19.1 million<br/>Final Gross: $60.4 million<br/>(Adjusted For Inflation: $68.6 million)</p> <p>10. <b>Gravity</b> (2013)<br/>Opening Weekend: $55.6 million<br/>Final Gross: ???
