The Hunger Games reigns supreme atop U.S. box office

The much-hyped movie, which stars Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth, has now become the first film in three years to hold onto the top spot for one month since James Cameron’s Avatar was released in 2009.

The film grossed a total of $21.5 million (£13.4 million) at the weekend (13-15Apr12), bumping its domestic earnings to a staggering $337.5 million (£210.9 million).

The Three Stooges debuted in second place with takings of $17.1 million (£10.7 million) and thriller Cabin in the Woods entered at third after raking in $14.9 million (£9.3 million).
