‘Hunger Games’ Sequel Retains No. 1 Spot Over Holiday Weekend
Posted in: Uncategorized
“The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” the film sequel about teens fighting a totalitarian regime, held the top spot in U.S. and Canadian cinemas for a second weekend with $110.2 million in sales for Lions Gate Entertainment Corp.
“Frozen,” the animated feature from Walt Disney Co., took in $93 million in over the five-day Thanksgiving weekend, after expanding to more theaters, Rentrak Corp. said yesterday in an e-mailed statement.
“Catching Fire,” with Jennifer Lawrence returning as the heroine Katniss Everdeen and Josh Hutcherson as co-combatant Peeta Mellark, is benefiting from three weeks without fresh competition for young-adult audiences. On Dec. 13, Time Warner Inc.’s New Line Cinema and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. release “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug,” the second of three films planned from the works of J.R.R. Tolkien.
