Hunger Games Premiere
Hunger Games on Track for $140-$150 Million Domestic Opening Weekend
Box office analysts at first suggested The Hunger Games was tracking to open with a $70 to $80 million weekend. Then it went up to $100M. Then some guessed it might go as high as $120 to $130 Million, which would make it the largest March release ever.
Scratch all that. Forbes says the film is looking to make a mind-boggling $140 to $150 million domestically after a $19.7 million midnight opening, the highest ever for a non-sequel. Why is it doing so well? It turned out to be an amazing film, not just for fans of the books-
After scoring a sensational $19.7 million right out the gate at midnight showings Thursday/Friday, The Hunger Games never slowed down and looks sure to burn up the box office with a staggering $140 to $150 million debut. And that’s just domestic box office, folks, not counting overseas receipts.
How did The Hunger Games manage such a huge feat? Not only by being an extremely popular young adult novel, not only by have broad appeal to male and female audiences, not only by bringing in viewers of all ages, and not only by having the best marketing blitz I’ve seen in a long time. No, all of that would’ve easily given this movie a strong weekend living up to the earlier expectations, but the reason it has continued to push expectations higher and higher before exceeding them, is simply because of strong positive buzz earned by being the very best film of the year so far, hands-down.

‘Hunger Games’ Cast Styling at the Paris and Berlin Premieres
Check out these photos of the main cast members at the Paris and Berlin premieres. Jennifer Lawrence wears a black backless dress by Tom Ford in Paris, and a fiery red dress by Marchesa in Berlin, deviating from the striking gold dresses she wore in LA and London. Josh Hutcherson also changes up his look going with suits in a different hue of brown and grey, while Elizabeth Banks stays sparkling in different warm tones.
Which look of Jennifer’s do you like the best? For me, I think might be a tie between London and Paris. How about Josh, Elizabeth and Liam looks? For more pictures of the Paris premiere go here, and for the Berlin premiere here.
