Smash hit “The Hunger Games” finally lost its position atop the North American box office, as newcomer “Think Like A Man” stormed to the number one slot, weekend estimates showed Sunday.
The ensemble comedy “Think Like A Man,” that garnered mediocre
reviews, made $33 million in its opening weekend, according to box
office tracker Exhibitor Relations.
In second place was another debut, romantic drama “The Lucky One,”
starring teen heart throbs Zac Efron and Taylor Schilling, which made
$22.8 million in its opening few days.
Falling to the third spot was the Jennifer Lawrence-starring
blockbuster “Hunger Games,” with just $14.5 million this week but a
whopping $356.9 million total over its five-week release.
Legions of fans have flocked to see the movie, based on a book by
Suzanne Collins, in which a teenaged girl played by Lawrence fights to
win a death match/television reality show featuring children in a
post-apocalyptic world.
In fourth was another debut, “Chimpanzee,” a true-life child-friendly
adventure tale of a special chimp, which brought in $10.2 million. It
came in just ahead of fifth place “The Three Stooges,” in its second
week. The Farrelly brothers’ tribute to the US comedy trio brought in
$9.2 million.
Sixth position went to the much-hyped horror comedy “The Cabin in the
Woods,” with $7.7 million, written and produced by “Avengers” director
Joss Whedon, while “American Reunion” — the sequel to the 1999 hit
“American Pie” — came in seventh with $5.2 million.
In eighth was the 3D-enhanced re-release of 1997′s “Titanic” starring
Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet — which debuted in theaters last
week in time for the 100th anniversary of the liner’s sinking –with $5
million.
Next came “21 Jump Street,” a reboot of the 1980s TV series, which
took in $4.6 million for ninth place, followed by a remake of the fable
Snow White, “Mirror Mirror,” starring Julia Roberts as the evil queen,
which made $4.1 million to round out the top ten.
