Two more cannon shots were heard around the country this week, as The Hunger Games defeated a pair of widely hyped newcomers to wear the box office crown for the third week in a row. Neither American Reunion nor Titanic 3D were any match for Katniss and company: the big screen version of Suzanne Collins’ novel earned $33.5 million on Friday and Saturday to become the sixth-fastest film to reach $300 in domestic receipts. At this pace, The Hunger Games is on target for a final U.S. gross of between $360 million and $370 million. Here’s a look at the top five finishers from Easter weekend: The Hunger Games : $33.5 million American Reunion : $21.5 million Titanic 3D : $17.4 million Wrath of the Titans : $15.0 million Mirror Mirror : $11.0 million
