Moviegoers continue to feast on Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games, which easily topped the domestic box office in its third weekend, falling a narrow 43 percent to $33.5 million for a cume of $302.8 million. The pic jumped the $300 million mark in only 17 days, the fastest for any non-summer or non-holiday title. The 3D rerelease of James Cameron’s ‘Titanic” took third place, losing out to both “Hunger Games” and R-rated comedy “American Reunion,” despite a massive publicity campaign.
