Now, finally, it’s time to talk about the film with fellow fans!
In America, many theaters began screening the movie starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Elizabeth Banks, and Woody Harrelson at 8 p.m. local time. By midnight, all theaters had it running at regular intervals.
A total of 4,163 theaters in the United States have the film this weekend. According to Fandango, ticket sales for Catching Fire top any other movie this year. It is projected to make north of $175 million opening weekend, but we suspect that great word of mouth will push it a bit further.
