The film about Jackie Robinson, 42, was the highest grossing film this weekend in the United States. But the real box office winner is a film that hasn't opened here yet, it's a big budget, post-apocalyptic thriller starring Tom Cruise. It's called Oblivion, and it opened in international theaters this weekend, pulling in more than $60 million. 

There are big expectations for Oblivion when it opens here next weekend and the film could mark a bit of a comeback for its star, Tom Cruise.

Our regular Monday guest, Rebecca Keegan of the LA Times, is in New York today, where she will be moderating a Q & A session on Oblivion.
