The much anticipated film, The Hunger Games, lived up to its reputation and opened to an impressive worldwide total of US$214.3 million, of which US$59.3 million was generated from ticket sales in 67 countries, including Singapore.
The Hunger Games, the big-screen adaptation of Suzanne Collins' best-selling young-adult novel starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth carved out a stellar performance at the local box office, grossing S$1.72 million for the opening weekend (Thursday 22 March – Sunday 25 March).
In the United States, Lionsgate (the producer and US distributor) reported a staggering US$155 million taking across 4,137 screens over the weekend. The gross constitutes the third highest opening weekend of all time, behind well-known films, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 and The Dark Knight.
