    The film, which is based on the Suzanne Collins book of the same name, was directed by Gary Ross, who is receiving early praise for his work. Anticipation for the movie has been built up so much that box-office numbers are expected to rival or even surpass those of the Twilight saga to bring in around $100 million on opening weekend.

    Of course, the comparisons don’t just end at the box office. Some critics are hailing the movie adaptation of “The Hunger Games” as more of a success than both the Twilight and Harry Potter films, much to the irritation of hardcore fans of those series’.

    The film, which centers on a future where the government selects teenagers to fight to the death in a series of televised games, premieres everywhere on March 23rd.
