It's been a little over two weeks since The Hunger Games: Catching Fire was released and it still tops the box office charts. In that short time it has grossed almost $300 million in the US alone. Adding in international receipts, it has grossed more than $570 million. It seems that the films are turning out to be just as popular as Suzanne Collins's books.
In case you don't know anything about The Hunger Games trilogy I'll give you a little synopsis. Katniss Everdeen is a young woman struggling to survive in a future, dystopian world. She volunteers to take her sister's place in The Hunger Games, the annual fight to the death of teenagers from across the ruins of what was once the United States. Her surprising victory has made her an enemy of the President and has lit a fire of resistance throughout the districts. Katniss, along with her friends and family, become a part of this fight that will cost them more than they could ever imagine.
