It looks like the world really will be watching this weekend!

The Hunger Games, a new movie based on the best selling novel, is going to premier this Friday, and if the preliminary sales are any indication, the movie is going to be huge! New reports based on the pre-sales on websites Fandango and MovieTickets, the grossing sales for the movie is expecting to reach $125 million.

Just how big of an opening weekend is that? The Lord Of The Rings made $47 million its first weekend, and the movie HG has most been compared to, Twilight, only made $70 million.

If you’re planning on seeing Katniss dominate the rest of the tributes this weekend, you’re going to have to plan to get your tickets asap! Over a million tickets in the United States alone have already been sold– And the movie doesn’t even come out until Friday!

We’ll be keeping our eye on the box office this weekend to see if they reach the estimated profit!
