Well, looks like Lionsgate has another massive win on it’s hand with The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. From the movie studio that brought you Abduction and the Saw series, comes the biggest November opening of all time. Catching Fire has brought in $161.1 million! Thats the kind of numbers that converts New Line from Freddy to Lord of the Rings. Kudos to Lionsgate for cashing in on the Tween Sensation!
| Title | Opening | |
| 1. | Marvel’s The Avengers | $207.4 |
| 2. | Iron Man 3 | $174.1 |
| 3. | Harry Potter Deathly Hallows 2 | $169.1 |
| 4. | Catching Fire | $161.1 |
| 5. | The Dark Knight Rises | $160.8 |
| 6. | The Dark Knight | $158.4 |
| 7. | The Hunger Games | $152.5 |
| 8. | Spider-Man 3 | $151.1 |
| 9. | Twilight Saga: New Moon | $142.8 |
| 10. | Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn 2 | $141 |
As you can see by looking at the All-Time Biggest Openings in Box Office History, Catching Fire is in the #4 position! Given the film had a better plot, and MUCH better CGI than the first film, it’s no doubt it was such a hit. Next week, there isn’t really any competition in way of Jennifer Lawrence and company either. Now it’s just a matter of how fast the film can reach a Billion!
