Hunger Games (Film) Debut - March 23, 2012

According to a story in the March 26, 2012, issue of USA Today, "The Hunger Games thundered to the third-best debut in history this weekend with $155 million, launching a franchise that could challenge the Twilight series.  The film "exceeded most analysts' highest expectations and marked a huge opening for a movie that is not a sequel. The two films with bigger debuts are Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 ($169.1 million) and The Dark Knight ($158 million), a sequel to Batman Begins." 

Lionsgate plans to release Part 2, Catching Fire on November 22, 2013.
