That would be great news for Warner Bros. who spent anywhere from $80-$100 million on the costly space adventure.

Fandango says 91% of its "Gravity" sales are for 3D screenings.

Things aren't looking as well for this week's other big new release, Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake's gambling thriller, "Runner, Runner."
