    Think Like a Man debuts with $33 million

    MUMBAI: Think Like a Man scored one of the best openings in recent memory for an African-American themed film debuting at $33 million. It may well topple Liongate‘s blockbuster The Hunger Games which has now grossed $357 million domestically.
    Think Like a Man is about four men whose love lives are disrupted when their partners begin using advice from Harvey‘s book and received an A CinemaScore. The film made for a modest $12 million to $13 million, follows the success of Screen Gems‘ The Vow and Underworld Awakening earlier this year, and marks another victory for Screen Gems‘ Clint Culpepper.
    “In terms of African-American themed films, Think Like a Man exceeded many of Tyler Perry‘s recent films. Perry‘s Good Deeds debuted to $15.6 million earlier this year, while last year‘s Madea‘s Big Happy Family opened to $25.1 million last year.
    Warner Bros.‘ film adaptation of Nicholas Sparks‘ The Lucky One came in at No. 2 turning in a better-than-expected $22.8 million in a boost for Zac Efron. The film received a B+ CinemaScore.
    Overseas, Lucky One opened to a strong $3.8 milion from only nine territories, with $2.5 million coming from Australia, where it bumped holdover Battleship from the No. 1 spot.
    After ruling the domestic box office for four consecutive weekends, the most since Avatar — Lionsgate‘s Hunger Games fell to No. 3, grossing $14.5 million for a domestic total of $357 million.
