New twists on both fairytales and mythological adventures hit theaters this weekend.

Lionsgate So in case you haven't figured out from the flood of Twitter comments, 'The Hunger Games' premiered last night. Tons of media personalities and celebs, like Darren Criss, Kelly Osbourne and Miranda Lambert, came out to the red carpet to get the first look at Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson and the rest of the cast's hard work. But the questi ...

Once again, ‘Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax’ was the most popular movie at the box office this weekend, bringing in $39.1 million in its second week of release.

The price of movie tickets hit an all-time high last year — $7.93 on average, a four-cent increase from 2010. At the same time, box office earnings sank a full four percent. So what’s going on?

With at least six movies opening in wide release on various days over the past week, it would’ve been easy for any film to get lost in the shuffle. But since Tom Cruise flicks rarely fade into the background, it’s hardly a surprise that ‘Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol’ brought in $26.5 million to handily beat all its competitors at the box office this weekend.

It took a movie with a zillion stars to do it, but ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn’ has finally been knocked off its perch at the top of the charts. Despite blistering reviews, ‘New Year’s Eve’ brought in $13.7 million in its debut, making it the most popular movie at the box office this weekend.

With no new movies opening in wide-release this weekend, there was little to challenge the powerhouse known as ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1,’ which earned $16.9 million and easily kept its berth as the top-earning film for the third weekend in a row.

‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1′ continued to dominate at the box office this weekend, earning $42 million to easily retain its top spot on the charts.

In news that will likely surprise exactly no one, ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1′ glittered and gored its way to a spectacular $139.5 million premiere this weekend, giving the latest film in the popular franchise the fifth-largest domestic opening in history.

The swords-and-sandals fantasy movie ‘Immortals’ fought off the competition to take the top spot at the box office this weekend, earning $32 million in its debut week.

In its second week of release, ‘Puss In Boots,’ the Antonio Banderas-voiced swashbuckling feline from the ‘Shrek’ franchise, pulled in $33 million in milk money to again take the top spot at the box office this weekend.

This weekend’s new films include a timely tale of revenge against a greedy rich guy, and the latest in a movie franchise beloved by users of, shall we say, “recreational herbs.”
