BOX OFFICE NEWS: Box Office: Hunger Games Destroys With $161.1 Million Debut


Hunger Games: Catching Fire made box office history this weekend, becoming the biggest November opening in history with $161.1 million in North American ticket sales, and a whopping $307.7 million globally. The second film in the franchise, starring Jennifer Lawrence, Lenny Kravitz, Jeffrey Wright and others, easily outpaced the first film's $218 million debut.

The film is now the fourth-biggest opening of all time after The Avengers ($207.4 million), Iron Man 3 ($174.1 million) and the final Harry Potter film ($169.2 million).

Thor 2: The Dark World came in second place, adding $14.1 to its take and bringing the film's worldwide total to $548.8 million. The Best Man Holiday placed third, grossing $12.5 million and bringing its domestic total to a hearty $50.4 million.

Vince Vaughn has less to smile about this week. His film Delivery Man scored the lowest numbers of his career with a paltry $8.2 million.


Next week, anticipated films like “Black Nativity”, “Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom” and Spike Lee's “Oldboy” will pack the box office. With Hunger Games nearly guaranteed to keep the top slot, which one is a contender for second place?
