'Wrath,' 'Mirror' No Match for 'Hunger Games'
2 April 2012 12:50 PM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
Box office phenomenon The Hunger Games was once again the undisputed champ this weekend, as it had little difficulty fending off unimpressive fantasy flicks Wrath of the Titans and Mirror Mirror. With that strong holdover performance, and two newcomers combining for over $50 million, the Top 12 earned $140.4 million (a 23 percent improvement over the same period last year).The Hunger Games fell 61.6 percent to $58.55 million this weekend. That ranks as the eighth-highest second weekend ever, though it fell behind Avatar, Spider-Man and Alice in Wonderland among non-sequels. Still, that drop was lighter than the decline for any of the Twilight movies that opened on a Friday including the first one, which lost 62.2 percent in its second weekend. The sci-fi book adaptation will pass $250 million on Monday, which will make it the seventh-fastest movie to ever reach that milestone (first among non-sequels). Through just 10 days in theaters, The Hunger Games has earned $248.5 million, »

'Hunger Games' Easily Tops 'Wrath,' 'Mirror' on Friday
31 March 2012 11:00 AM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
As expected, The Hunger Games easily held on to the top spot at the box office on Friday, though its steep drop was more reminiscent of front-loaded sequels than original properties. In second place, Wrath of the Titans failed to open anywhere close to its predecessor, while Mirror Mirror got off to a fine start in third. The Hunger Games plummeted 72 percent to an estimated $18.85 million. The movie had a steeper decline than Alice in Wonderland (58 percent) and The Dark Knight (65 percent), but it did mark a slight improvement over New Moon (76 percent) and Breaking Dawn Part 1 (77 percent). The Hunger Games cruised past $200 million early yesterday, which places it as the fifth-fastest movie ever to reach that level. Through eight days, the popular book adaptation has earned $208.8 million, and it should wind up with a three-day gross of at least $60 million. Wrath of the Titans debuted to an estimated $12.4 million on Friday, »
