Not even the Greek gods or a cutesy retelling of the “Snow White” tale could stop the juggernaut that is “The Hunger Games.”
The bigscreen version of author Suzanne Collins’ best-selling YA continues to clean up at the multiplex, grossing $61 million on its way to $251 million in receipts in its first two weeks of release.
