The Hunger Games On Pace to Pass Harry Potter
While ‘The Hunger Games‘ is no longer #1 in the box office, our favorite dystopian film is doing quite well in theaters still. So well in fact, that ‘The Hunger Games‘ has outpaced the final Harry Potter film, the highest grossing of the series, in domestic earnings to date and should end higher than the wizarding film. You can read what EW reported on the box office success here:
The Hunger Games dipped by a tiny 23 percent and earned $11.3 million in its sixth weekend on the chart. With a running total of $372.5 million, the franchise-launching blockbuster is now officially performing ahead of the highest-grossing Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, which had earned $366 million at the same point in its run. Worldwide, Hunger Games‘ impressive $601 million total doesn’t compare to Potter‘s grosses, but one can only wonder how high numbers will climb by the time The Hunger Games Saga: Catching Fire – Part 2 (Section B) in IMAX 3D finally hits theaters in 2016.
I also enjoyed their little dig at the franchise’s plan to split ‘The Hunger Games‘ movies, did you catch it?

Catching fire comes out in 2016? Is that true?
Nah, that’s sarcasm aimed at the talks of splitting up the movies and the long wait for the release. Catching Fire is planned for release in November 2013.
Wait wait so they’re splitting catching fire into 2 films?! I dont know how I fell about this yet….
Wait wait so they’re splitting catching fire into 2 films?! I dont know how I fell about this yet…. Guess ill have to decide.
No… well probably not. No official decision has been made, but the article is just poking fun at the tendency for studios in general to split movies many times.
argh accidently sent two almost duplicates.. sorry!
What? It’s not being released in 2916 it’s coming out next year!
It is coming out November 2013. The article is just poking fun at how long these series get delayed when studios split the movies into parts. That’s not happening with Catching Fire though, so don’t worry.
both of the movies are awesome and i like the most about harry potter story. i think Hunger Games is one of the best movies of the year..
