"Carrie" was unable to spook the unflappable "Gravity" at the box office this weekend, as the hit 3-D space drama easily claimed No. 1 for the third week in a row. Heading into the weekend, industry projections indicated the two films would be in a tight race for the top spot, with each movie poised to take in between $30 million and $35 million. But only "Gravity" hit that mark, collecting $31 million. According to an estimate from distributor Warner Bros., the film starring Sandra Bullock has sold $170.6 million worth of tickets since its debut 17 days ago. Things didn't get downright bloody for "Carrie," but the film still fell far short of tracking predictions. The remake of the 1976 horror classic opened with a so-so $17 million -- about as much as the studio releasing the movie, Sony Pictures, had said it expected the film to start off with.
