‘The Hunger Games’ Grosses $189.93M in First Week

While a hard number for Friday’s earnings isn’t available yet, according to BoxOffice.com, ‘The Hunger Games’ drew in a total of $189.93 million dollars in it’s first seven days. Projected to dominate this coming weekend in the box office, that number gives it seventh place in first week starts of all time.
For the week The Hunger Games grossed a simply massive $189.93 million. That was 29.5 percent stronger than the $146.63 million one-week start of Alice in Wonderland and represented the seventh largest unadjusted seven-day start of all-time. Making this week’s performance even sweeter for the film and Lionsgate was the relatively modest price-tag of The Hunger Games by Hollywood event film standards.

I’ve seen it twice yet and today I’m gonna watch it in English for the first time. I’m so looking forward to seeing it again!
I’ve seen it twice so far: the Friday of opening weekend, then again last night. I do work at my local movie theatre, so I see a few snippets here and there when doing the hourly checks, but I will more than likely see it once more in theatres then wait for the Blu-ray/DVD release.
I’ve seen it three times already! I am going again next week because it is so great
I can’t wait for the DVD!
Three times, and I’m not done yet! Going again soon!!!
One in a regular Theater and once in IMAX. And plan on seeing it a few more times. And btw…WHY can’t we like or dislike people’s comments anymore!
I’ve seen it twice thus far and plan on seeing it again this week. The second time seeing was so much better! May the record breaking continue.
Just saw it today!!!! It sold out friday and today. I loved it so much and all I have to say is, “Manners!!!”
i have watched it 4 times and i want it on dvd but cant find out when it comes out i kneed to know but i loved it its amazing cant wait to see it again:)
I saw it wednesday night/thursday morning(australia midnight release) and on the next tuesday night and today afternoon(saturday) and i plan to see it again soon
oops forgot something and im sorry for the people who love gale but i hate him and love peeta my friends make fun of his jawbone being square but i love it like that and i tell them that and my wall has quotes and posters of the hunger games and so since i like peeta my friend made me a poster that says i love josh hutchersons jawbone <3
I saw it at midnight premiere and saw it next day saturday in IMAX! plan on seeing it again soon! Its been too long!!!!
I saw it three times last weekend. I’m going again today! I’ll keep watching it until I’ve gotten everyone in my immediate family/friends circle to go. Then I’ll wait for the DVD release.
Hardcore fans unite!!!
Twice! And I have one more free ticket that I shall use soon to see it again!
I FINALLY saw it last night!!
I’d actually heard some mixed feelings about it (mostly people being nit-picky) so I was a little nervous. I tell you now, I was NOT dissappointed!! It was FANTASTIC!!! Better than I would have imagined!! I want to see it again, and again, and again, and again…. !!!
I went to the midnight premiere and then went again saturday! I wanna see it again!!!
Went at the second showing at my theatre for the first time and going with my parents whO haven’t seen it tonight. It is totally with seeing three times though
It’s possible THG will keep the top spot for the next few weeks. Titans and Mirror are the only real competition, and it’s already been determined that those aren’t going to cut it. American Pie MIGHT get there, but after that it’s just a bunch of crap like 3 Stooges until May 4th when the Avengers decimate all.
We’ll see, but I feel like THG may be king for a while!
Seen it twice. Can’t wait for the DVD—by the way, love that Katniss/Rue photo.
Seen it twice on opening weekend. Its so good!!
Did you guys read where Isabelle Furhman said she’s already seen it like 5 times and is going again this weekend?? awesome!!
I have seen it 4 1/2 times (SO FAR) and plan on watching it until it goes out of theaters because WE. MUST. BEAT. HARRY. POTTER!!
3 times. i saw it twice opening day, once at midnight and then again in the evening
I saw it openeing day, sadly not midnight premire, thursday, yesterday and might go today. i went with my school and all the girls and some guys were screaming and laughing and clapping, but it was easily heard, and my friend and i just got aggravated and couldn’t enjoy the movie as much
If the first movie made it seventh, imagine what Catching Fire and Mockingjay are going to bring in.
The Hunger Games was so good
saw it for the first time Thursday night! Amazing!!! I was wondering when Peeta was going to figure out it was a game, but….never did. Other than that best book adaption I’ve seen in a while!(other than Harry Potter, of courae)
*course
I’ve seen it three times so far, 1)midnight 2)with my mom 3)with friends. I almost saw it for a forth time last night but saw another one. I think unless my dad wants to see it that I won’t see the movie again until the DVD comes out. I don’t want to Hunger Games myself out!
I’ve seen it two times, once on opening night and then again the following Wednesday, and I’ll be going again tomorrow night
JewelofPanem – We are working on getting the comment likes/dislikes to work again, so hang in there!
Christine – I reckon he works out it’s a game, if you watch it again pay very close attention to Peeta’s facial expressions on the train and when they make it home to District 12, his face says it all! (well, I think so anyway)
I’ve seen it twice so far, once in IMAX and once in the normal theater. I’ll probably go see it one more time then wait until the blu-ray comes out to buy it. Unfortunately the wait will probably be long for that release, guessing not until September, unless they hold it back for a holiday release.
