The Hunger Games: Catching Fire opened at #1. We knew it would. The only question was what kind of records it would set. How about the biggest November opening ever and the fourth biggest weekend take in history? That is what $161.1 million will get you. It trailed only The Avengers, Iron Man 3 and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. For more perspective the second film in the franchise has almost equaled Thor: The Dark World’s three week take in one weekend.
The final Hunger Games Book, Mockingjay, will be split into two movies with the first opening November 21, 2014 and the second a year later in November 2015. Just consider it your new Thanksgiving tradition. Turkey, cranberry sauce and Jennifer Lawrence.
