Well, when cinematic tosh like Avengers and Avatar are the highest grossing films, can we be surprised?

Since only 4.5% of the world population lives in the USA, it would be sweet if people could stop being surprised when a movie grosses more internationally than domestically.

Very true Teddy, it is astonishing and bizarre how an unwatchable movie like "The Hunger Games" can make over $400 million in North America alone, the sheer and utter stupidity of the American movie going public never ceases to amaze me.

M, foreign audiences didn`t fall for "The Hunger Games" bull-shit the way American audiences did (just like they didn`t fall for that "Dark Knight" bull-shit either) because they realised very quickly that both those movies were unwatchable horse-shit.

Huh? The first one grossed far more domestically. I just checked on Box Office Mojo and it grossed around $400 million domestic and $280 million foreign. To reverse that and then assume that the foreign gross will be twice as much as the domestic seems strange. Is there something I'm missing? If I remember correctly, the novels (and the movies too) were somewhat criticized in several foreign countries because of the subject matter.

I desperately want to perform literally every concievable and possible sex-act in the known universe on Jennifer Lawrence.

The second book is by far the best one and keeping in mind the popularity of Jennifer Lawrence + the growing fanbase for these movies/books I can see it making the predicted amount. I also think that Catching fire will make the most money out of all the movies.

What about the premium for IMAX? Has that been factored in? The arena scenes were shot in IMAX and no doubt will add to the experience I'll certainly be watching in IMAX.

Shows how, if you say something is good (or bad) often enough, people will believe it. The first film (aside from JL's performance) and the remaining books are/were, truly shoddy works.

Absolutely funny to mention Steven Soderbergh with this particular franchise seeing as he helped shoot second unit material on the first Hunger Games film.
