Deadline has their box office report up for the weekend with the first figures for both
The Hunger Games and
Wrath of the Titans bringing both good and bad news. The good news is for Lionsgate who are expected to reach the $250M mark with
The Hunger Games this weekend. As a bonus, it's not only #1 at the box office, but also in the book and album charts in the US. Unfortunately, the news is not quite so good for Warner Bros. sequel,
Wrath of the Titans. While it has taken the #2 spot (holding off competition from kid friendly release
Mirror Mirror) and will more than likely make its projected $37M, this is far short of
Clash of the Titans' $61.2M opening weekend back in 2010. However, it's expected to make back its $150M budget thanks to overseas takings. Despite a mixed reaction from critics, this isn't too bad of a start, although the likelihood a sequel is completely unknown at this point. They also mention that
John Carter is likely to end its US run with with $70M. Here are the latest box office figures courtesy of the site.
