The Hunger Games won the box office for the third weekend in a row, reaping $33.5 million and bringing its total gross so far to $302.8 million.

While there's no shame in securing tickets for a second screening of The Hunger Games this weekend, keep in mind there are some awesome new movies opening this week. Julia Roberts is playing the wonderfully wicked evil queen in Mirror Mirror, Liam Neeson, Sam Worthington, and Ralph Fiennes will bring gods and warriors back to the screen in Wrath of the Titans, and Seann William Scott is back (now with more Eugene Levy than ever!) as a bouncer-turned-hockey player in Goon. Peruse the pics and let us know which one you'll be catching this weekend!
