Hunger Games – Did You See It?

An amazing number of people saw "The Hunger Games" over the weekend.  In fact, it is now the 3rd highest opening weekend of ANY movie, taking in over $200 million dollars worldwide.

If you saw the crowds at any Celebration Cinema waiting to see the movie, that figure doesn't come as a big surprise.

What I find interesting, though, is that the actors were relatively underpaid for the film.  Don't be too worried about how they'll pay bills, though...

The woman who played Katniss only received $500,000 to start, but she'll have what are called escalator bonuses (they kick in after a movie hits a certain financial performance), that will give her an extra $1 million dollars.
