Timberlake's 'Runner Runner' will likely get crushed by Sandra Bullock's sci-fi drama.
Director Alfonso Cuaron's 3-D sci-fi epic "Gravity" should crush the box office this weekend, buoyed by a buzzed-about performance from Sandra Bullock in a lead role previously attached to Angelina Jolie and Natalie Portman. "Gravity" should take down between $40 million and $45 million, according to box-office forecasts. "Gravity" wowed audiences at the Venice Film Festival and has racked up a beyond-impressive 90 percent critical average on Rotten Tomatoes.
It's something of a former Batman/future Batman matchup this weekend. George Clooney donned the cape and cowl in 1997's ill-fated "Batman & Robin" and Ben Affleck will suit up for 2015's "Man of Steel" sequel. Clooney stars opposite Bullock in "Gravity"; Affleck is a shady gambler opposite Timberlake's Princeton grad in "Runner Runner."
