'Hunger Games' holds on to No. 1

Nothing surprising at the box office this weekend. The current blockbuster stayed at No. 1, while a sequel and re-release of movies popular with my age group took the second- and third-place spots (and is it embarrassing to admit I'd like to see both of the latter?).

From The Associated Press:
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
1. “The Hunger Games,” $33.5 million ($25.5 million international). (Review by The News-Herald's Mark Meszoros; "Hunger Games" overflows with ingredients that should mix together to form a giant hit at box office by The AP's David Germain)
