And that’s how you make $152 million in three days, I guess. Despite some controversial changes, an appalling subset of fans and the wholly expected overreaction from the brains trust at Fox News, Lionsgate have a bona fide, wide appeal blockbuster with “The Hunger Games” and despite my misgivings about the source material, I suppose that any self-respecting Whedonist like myself should be happy that a movie with an accomplished, flinty female protagonist is doing so well.
