BOX OFFICE: THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE And FROZEN Both Vying For #1 This Weekend
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug will be the one film to rule them all when it opens next weekend, but the next couple of days will see one final slobberknocker between The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and Disney's animated hit, Frozen. Hit the jump for the latest estimates!
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire came out on top during Thanksgiving weekend, but the next couple of days will be a much closer race as the sequel battles for the top spot with Frozen. Both are currently expected to earn around $30 million, but the fact that the latter is only in its second week of wide release (not to mention that it will likely draw the family crowd) means that it could just win the weekend with a predicted total of $32 million. Back in fourth or fifth position will be Marvel Studios' Thor: The Dark World. After passing $600 million at the worldwide box office today, it's believed that the Alan Taylor helmed sequel will add around $4 million to that domestically. What are you hoping to check out this weekend? Let us know in the usual place!
