Underworld Awakening poster
Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. Part twisted entertainment, part government intimidation tactic, the Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains. Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love. Starring: Jennifer Lawrence (X-Men First Class), Josh Hutcherson (Journey to the Center of the Earth) and Liam Hemsworth (Knowing) Release Date: March 23rd, 2012
Immortals Tops Box Office
Immortals beat expectations with a $32 million domestic opening for a first place finish at the box office. That’s $7 million more than Relativity Media predicted for the R rated picture, and the best opening ever for one of the studio’s pictures.
The turn out was a solid young male demographic, with 75 percent of the audience being under 35 and 60 percent male. The film also gave a boost to the sagging 3D market, with 66% of sales coming from 3D screens.
Immortals is about Theseus (soon to be Superman Henry Cavill), a mortal, who is chosen by Zeus (Luke Evans) to lead the fight against the evil King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke). The fate of mankind and the gods are both at stake.

Real Steel Tops Box Office
Real Steel knocked out the box office competition with an $8.7 million opening. That sets it up for a solid $27 million opening weekend in a traditionally slow time of year for movies. However, with a budget exceeding $110 million, not including marketing costs, the film will need good word of mouth to gain the legs it needs to go from “good opening” to “profit maker” for the studio.
