‘Hunger Games’ Passes $400M Global Box Office: #1 Again Through Easter; ‘American Reunion’ Pulls Ahead Of ‘Titanic 3D’ Friday

FRIDAY 5 PM, 6TH UPDATE: I’ve just learned that Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games  has grossed $131.6M internationally and $269.3M domestically in its first 13 days of release at the worldwide box office to cross $400M total.
