Lionsgate's THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE and Disney's FROZEN might be elemental opposites, but the pair of pics is pacing to break the five-day Thanksgiving holiday record originally set by Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone at $82 million.
On Friday alone, the sequel brought in $70.5 million, by today, the film managed to earn $161.1 million, putting it ahead of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON and match its predecessor, which opened to $142 million in 2012.
Speculation is running rampant inside the entertainment industry that Lionsgate's upcoming THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE might ignite the box office this weekend as well. Early projections have the film likely to make more than $150 million in the US, and over $300 million worldwide, which would put it ahead of the last saga to capture the hearts of adults and teens - TWILIGHT.
The film opens at 8pm on Thursday across the US, and the one thing that everyone agrees on is that it'll certainly eclipse its $142 million dollar predecessor which opened in March of 2012.
