The Hunger Games remains on top for a third week in a row, and if you add in foreign sales, it's passed $450 million.  I saw it again with my teenage daughter, and I still liked it the second time around.

American Reunion wound up being a sound investment by Universal, if not spectacular.

Speaking of foreign sales, John Carter's managed to gross its production budget ($250 million), but when you factor in the marketing budget and the theater owners' cut, it's still a huge money-loser.

Wrath of the Titans isn't doing near as well as the previous Clash, but foreign sales will probably make this one a break-even affair.
