NEW YORK (AP) — "Gravity" continued to exert its force at the box office, the WikiLeaks drama "The Fifth Estate" flopped, and the anticipated Slavery tale "12 Years a Slave" opened strong in limited release.
Final weekend box office totals were released Monday. Warner Bros.' space adventure "Gravity" remained in first place for the third straight week, adding $30 million to its three-week haul of $169.6 million.
Disney's "The Fifth Estate," starring Benedict Cumberbatch as WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, had one of the year's worst debuts, taking in just $1.7 million in more than 1,700 theaters.
In just 19 theaters, Steve McQueen's highly acclaimed "12 Years a Slave" made nearly $1 million in its first weekend. Fox Searchlight plans to gradually expand the film in the coming weeks.
