First, Wrath of the Titans and Mirror, Mirror failed to stop The Hunger Games. American Reunion and Titanic in 3D couldn’t do it either. This weekend, Warner Brother's Teen Titans: The Movie, the Farrelly Brothers’ The Three Stooges and the Joss Whedon-produced The Cabin In The Woods will try to stop The Hunger Games from a fourth weekend at the top of the box office.

However, analysts are predicting that The Hunger Games may have another weekend at the top. According to The Los Angeles Times, Lionsgate’s adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ novel is expected to make between $18 million and $20 million, which should easily be enough to top the two new releases. The film has been out for just 21 days and is prepared to top $300 million in the US alone.

Before it can top the weekend, Teen Titans: The Movie looks that it can do big this weekend. It is projecting the film to open around $30 million, which is a big improvement for a movie. It even opened big last night earning $3.2 million from midnight showings.

20th Century Fox’s The Three Stooges is a slapstick comedy based on the classic comedic trio. The PG-rated comedy could attract a wide audience, but Box Office Mojo reports that Fox is modestly estimating that the film will make just $10 million. However, it really shouldn’t have a problem at reaching $15 million to $17 million.

Next up is Liongstate’s The Cabin In The Woods, which was produced by The Avengers director Whedon and directed by Drew Goddard. The horror film is actually three years old, made long before actor Chris Hemsworth became a star in Thor. MGM originally produced the film but Lionsgate acquired it last year and is distributing it. Thanks to heavy marketing, Entertainment Weekly predicts that the film could reach $15 million. It has also received great reviews.

Titanic’s 3D release should be able to top $10 million in its second weekend, while American Reunion will probably make around $10 million in its second weekend.

The other new release is the sci-fi/action film Lockout. It’s only being shown in around 2,300 theaters, so it will probably end up outside of the top five with around $7.5 million, according to Box Office Mojo.

Internationally, the big release is Universal’s Battleship, which won’t hit US theaters until next month. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film has opened in Europe, Asia and Latin America. The $200 million film’s best numbers are coming out of Asia. In South Korea alone, the film made $2.8 million on opening day, the highest ever for a non-sequel in the English language.
