Screen Gems' romcom pushes dystopian drama off the Us top spot, with Zac Efron's The Lucky One in second place
The $33m (£20.5m) debut of Think Like a Man defeated The Hunger Games for the first time in five weekends and allowed Sony's Screen Gems division to enjoy a little love as everybody gets ready for the arrival of The Avengers in a fortnight. Tim Story directed the romcom featuring a skilful ensemble of Michael Ealy, Kevin Hart, Gabrielle Union and Taraji P Henson, among others.
As for The Hunger Games, nobody will be shedding a tear. It has amassed more than $355m in North America and $533m worldwide in one month. After Gary Ross said he wouldn't return to direct the second episode, Lionsgate had to hustle and announced Francis Lawrence, the music video specialist whose theatrical CV includes I Am Legend, Constantine and more recently Water for Elephants.
