War of the Worlds grossed $101.7 million in theaters already, in the first week of release.

Not a bad birthday gift for Tom Cruise who celebrated his 43rd birthday today.

War of the Worlds directed by Steven Spielberg has brought in $113.3 million since it opened June 29, according to Exhibitor Relations.

War of the Worlds was the most popular movie this Independence Day holiday weekend. Foreign grosses for the movie are even larger than domestic box-office.

War of the Worlds has already made $204.2 million worldwide since its release.

War of the Worlds received very favorable reviews and even Cruise's publicity capades could not overshadow the movie, as he openly declared his love for new fiancée Katie Holmes and agressively spoke about his Scientology beliefs.

War of the Worlds, HG Wells’s classic novel about an alien invasion of Earth and one family’s fight to survive, was first turned into a movie in 1953, winning an Oscar for its special effects.
