Deadline reports that Warner Bros.' Wrath Of The Titans, a sequel to 2010's Clash Of The Titans, has opened with $1 million from midnight screenings in 1,490 theaters. Predictions suggest that the movie will debut to $34M-$36M this weekend. Clash Of The Titans opened with $61 million two years ago, but Wrath is still expected to do well financially (despite reviews being mostly negative; the film is currently sitting at 22% on Rotten Tomatoes).

Meanwhile, Lionsgate's The Hunger Games, an adaptation of the successful Suzanne Collins novel, is expected to again be the #1 movie of the weekend. The film, which stars Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson, is set to pass $190 million in North America today after being in theaters for only a week. Wrath Of The Titans is expected to open in second place.

Also opening today is Relativity Media’s Snow White tale, Mirror Mirror, which stars Lily Collins and Julia Roberts. The movie should open to $22M-$25M this weekend. With the film's target audience being children 12 and under, as well as school being out next week, Mirror Mirror should do rather well this month.

What do you plan on seeing this weekend?
