Box Office Report: Hunger Games has another blockbuster week

Less of a battle and more of a profound statement, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1, decimates its closest competitor, taking in over $5.5 million in its second week.
Interstellar remains at a solid number 2, making over $1.5 million and Lets Be Cops drops to 3rd spot, taking just under $500,000.

New release Nightcrawler starring Jake Gyllenhaal was unable to compete against the 2 powerhouses at the top but still taking in over $500,000 in its opening week and landing in the top 3.
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day had a fairly good week solely off of preview screenings. The family film comes in at number 5 almost matching Lets Be Cops.
Australia has kept their beloved comedies in the top 10 with Fat Pizza vs Housos opening at number 8 with a meer $280,000.
And new release Serena sneaks in at number 10 pulling in just under $200,000.

Although Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day did well with its preview screenings, it officially opens in theaters around Australia this week.
