After four straight weeks at the Number 1 spot, The Hunger Games was finally kicked out of the top by non-genre, romantic comedy Think Like a Man. But The Hunger Games was still top among genre films for the weekend, coming in at the Number 3 spot and pulling in as estimated domestic tally of $14.5 million. That film is currently approaching $600 million in gross revenue worldwide. No new genre films hit the theaters this past weekend, though apparently John Carter was booted out to make room for the Summer Blockbusters that will start in May (see our full rundown of that at this link).
