Box office

YOUR WEAKEND BOX OFFICE: The Hunger Games was knocked from the top spot by not one but two over-performing debuts. The heavily promoted Sony Screen Gems ensemble comedy Think Like a Man, based on Steve Harvey's dating-advice best-seller, debuted as the top weekend draw with $33 million, almost double the estimated take. The Warner Bros. schmaltz-fest The Lucky One, based on Nicholas Sparks' novel and starring Zac Efron, opened at # 2 with $22.8 million. Lions Gate's blockbuster The Hunger Games took in $14.5 million, good for #3, ending its four-week run, while raising its domestic total to $356.9 million. The Disney nature doc Chimpanzee debuted at # 4 with $10.2 million.
