QUICK BITES
'The Hunger Games': A Blockbuster Without Young Men
Something was missing as chattering moviegoers poured out of "The Hunger Games" screening at the Landmark Theater in West Los Angeles on Saturday night.
There were posses of slightly manic young girls, gathered in pods to dissect the saga of Katniss Everdeen. There were older couples, out for the evening. I saw lots of twenty-something couples, being lovey-dovey. And there were pairs of professional women, emanating happy buzz.
Absent were any young men.

Jennifer Lawrence moves in beside 'House at the End of the Street' -- FIRST LOOK
In The Hunger Games, nobody who knows better would mess with Jennifer Lawrence's ultra-survivor Katniss Everdeen, but in her upcoming horror thriller House at the End of the Street, the 21-year-old actress stars as someone a lot more vulnerable — though just as threatened.

YOU DUG IT
THE HUNGER GAMES zooms right past the high expectations predicted for its opening weekend to grab one of the largest opening weekends in the history of cinema.
With a $78 million dollar budget, ticket returns for THE HUNGER GAMES broke through to $155 million.
In its third weekend, JOHN CARTER slowly slips from #3 to #4. Word is getting out that JOHN CARTER is a far better movie than the crippled advertising and marketing the Disney studios did for it. That said, faced with the onslaught of THE HUNGER GAMES, JOHN CARTER dropped 63.1% in ticket sales from last week.
In its seventh weekend, SAFE HOUSE slips from #7 to #9. Despite its long time at theaters, SAFE HOUSE has yet to reach its domestic break even in ticket sales.
YOU BURIED IT
In its third weekend, SILENT HOUSE drops off the top 12 to #16.
