This weekend saw The Hunger Games: Catching Fire set a handful of new box office records, including the biggest November opening weekend and the biggest non-3D opening.The record for November’s biggest domestic record, broken earlier today, belonged to The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 and there will be third and fourth Hunger Games movies, expected to debut in November of the next two years, so look for Lionsgate to spend the next couple of years trying to find the next big franchise like this.Batman, Superman, The Avengers and James Bond have dominated the box office, meaning that movies aimed mostly at males 18-35 have been getting most of the love–but if Catching Fire can take down Iron Man 3 as the year’s #1 (unlikely but possible), it will send a strong message that the Twilight and Harry Potter franchises weren’t fluke occurrences.
