Yup, I was afraid when the first estimates showed it to be $15 Million...but with it being at $14.5 I'm still relatively confident.

THG is now tracking ahead of DH2.
The Hunger Games is the 8th fastest movie to get to $350 million according to box office mojo. Since 7 of the 10 fastest movies to $350 million made over $400 million dollars I would give The Hunger Games a 85% change to make over $400 million dollars at the box office still will be easily in the top ten for a couple more weeks.

THG just had it's LOWEST weekend drop yet,and is now tracking $6.45M ahead of DH2. The gap will only widen from now on.
A week ahead of its U.S. debut, Marvel's The Avengers opened in 39 foreign territories and scored a truly heroic $178.4 million. The movie took first place in all of its markets, and set new opening weekend records in a dozen of them as well.
The Avengers had its top start in the United Kingdom ($24.7 million), though that only ranks 16th all-time there. In Australia, the movie's $19.7 million is the second-highest opening ever, while its $15.9 million debut in Mexico is a new record. It also set records in Brazil ($11.3 million), Taiwan ($7.7 million), the Philippines ($6.5 million), Hong Kong ($4.6 million) and seven other smaller markets.
Across the 12 markets where estimates are available, The Avengers opened over twice as high, on average, as Iron Man 2, which currently holds the team's overseas record with $311.5 million (a number The Avengers is going to annihilate within the next few weeks).

I made a bet with darth that it will cross $400M eventually,a few weeks ago.
