American Reunion Review
By: Lawrence Foster
Rating: 8 out of 10
It’s your 10-year high school reunion and you haven’t talked with some of your good friends from your formative years in at least a presidential term.
You’re nervous because you wonder if things will be awkward. Those fears are unfounded, however, as you and your mates (that is such a better term than friend) pick up right where you left off, just as if there was no gap in communication.
Box Office Recap: April 15
Another week and another period of stagnant and stubborn rule atop the box office for The Hunger Games. The box office’s champ for the fourth consecutive week brought in $21.5 million to bring its total up to $337.1 Million. The Hunger Games becomes the first film since Avatar to rule the box office for four consecutive weeks.
Coming in second was the first of the plethora of new releases, as The Three Stooges brought in $21.5 million during its first three days in theaters. The Farrelly Brothers’ take on the age-old comedic trio did a good job bringing in the younger crowd with its PG rating, likely sapping 40-50 percent of the younger crowd that had seen The Hunger Games during its run. Cabin in the Woods was the top R-Rated release, drawing $14.9 Million over the weekend. The thriller directed by Drew Goddard opened to rave reviews, but was unable to bring the numbers expected to take away the weekend crowd. Lockout, the action-thriller starring Guy Pearce, finished in ninth with a meager $6.3 million.
The Hunger Games Review #2
By: Lawrence Foster
Rating: 9 out of 10
I think there is something to watching a TV show or movie without reading the book or series it is based on first.
Harry Potter, Game of Thrones and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo are all examples of movies or TV shows that got me hooked via a screen. After watching those respective franchises, I got hooked by each respective book series, but, without the TV or movie theater, I would have probably never gotten into any of them.
Box Office Madness: How Much Will The Hunger Games Make?
Update #2: After Week #3, featuring a week in which THG raked in an additional $33.1 Million, the movie stands at $302 Million. At this point, fans of legitimate film can rejoice, The Hunger Games has now out-grossed ALL FOUR of the Twilight saga films, as the highest grossing Twilight film was Eclipse, which made just over $300 Million.
Update: On its first day in the box office, The Hunger Games took in $68.2 Million, including $19.7 Million during midnight showings. The midnight showings gross is the highest for a non-sequel movie ever, while the opening day profits rank fifth all time. It is no long shot that The Hunger Games could gross upwards of $120-$150 Million by the end of the weekend. Once the official numbers are up, we will post and let you know where The Hunger Games stands with all-time grossing weekends.
Monty here. Expect our review for The Hunger Games to be up tomorrow, but for right now an important question has to be asked; is it possible and feasible for a film hitting the silver screen in late March to get a massive hunk out of the Box Office? Even better, can a film in 2D over-gross every 3D film so far this year? If you understand the anatomy of complete fan addicts, its easy to see that The Hunger Games is going to be big and its going to stick around for a while.
