'Hunger,' 'Wrath' split B.O. bragging rights. 'Games' wins Stateside; Warner sequel tops o'seas
Lionsgate's B.O. juggernaut "The Hunger Games" again won the domestic box office, with an estimated $61.1 million. But Warner Bros.' 3D sequel "Wrath of the Titans" ruled globally, debuting to an estimated worldwide take of $112.2 million, of which $78 million came from 60 overseas markets.
"Hunger Games" nabbed $95.5 million worldwide (including $34.8 million internationally), pushing its global cume to $364.9 million in just 10 days.
According to early estimates, "Hunger Games" still beat "Wrath" in a number of overseas markets, as well as in the U.S., where "Wrath" debuted at No. 2 with $34.2 million.
"Wrath," the sequel to 2010's "Clash of the Titans" from Warners and Legendary Pictures, came in slightly under domestic pre-weekend projections, which had pegged the film to hit at least in the high-$30 millions. Relativity Media's debut title "Mirror Mirror," which collected an estimated $19 million, also bowed to less than its projected low-to-mid $20 million range.
"Wrath" collected 65% of its opening from 3D, including 14% from Imax.
The limited drop-off for the all-audience "Hunger Games," which fell just 60%, drew away auds from both debut titles -- "Wrath" attracted a mostly over-25 male crowd, while "Mirror" was targeted at families.
"Quite frankly, going into the weekend we thought the drop would be much higher," said Lionsgate exec VP of distribution David Spitz, referring to the film's loss of Imax locations to "Wrath." "But there is a percentage of repeat customers (for 'Hunger'), and we are definitely starting to pick up more older males."
The frame's newcomer pair, along with "Hunger Games," are well-positioned for next weekend's heightened Easter holiday moviegoing.
In limited release, the Weinstein Co.'s unrated docu "Bully" averaged a solid $23,000 from five locations. Pic, which had been the center of a highly-publicized ratings tussle, drew a total estimated $115,000 through Sunday.
