Can anything beat out "The Hunger Games"?

The film has earned $337.1 million domestically, making it the first film since "Avatar" to take the top spot four weekends in a row. ("Avatar" held the number one spot for eight consecutive weeks.)

New openings are out of their league. 

"The Three Stooges" disappoints with a smaller opening than other TV-to-film adaptations, and "the Cabin in the Woods," which felt like a horror version of "Hunger Games"—think teenagers picked off one by one in a cabin at the hands of a reality TV show—performed adequately for a horror comedy.

"Titanic 3D" performs well in accordance with its anniversary, "Wrath of the Titans" is on track to earn half of its $150 million budget and it's an underwhelming return to theaters for Guy Pearce in "Lockout."

10. "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax" holds out one more week to round out the top ten, earning $3 million.



9. Guy Pearce's return to theaters in the thriller "Lockout" opened to an underwhelming $6.3 million. The Luc Besson production earned less than "Colombiana" ($10.4 million) and "Transporter 3" ($12.1 million) its opening weekend.



8. "21 Jump Street" drops two spots to eight this week. The film just missed the seven spot grossing $6.8 million at the box office.
