‘The Hunger Games’ is poised to become the new movie that sweeps the dolla’ bills out of your wallet. The movie, like most films lately, is based on a sci-fi book series that is nearing the 1 million copies sold marker. You know, like ‘Twilight’ but without sparkly vampires and an ending that makes you want to apologize to your eyeballs for the epic waste of time.

The Lions Gate film hits theaters on March 23, 2012 with a sequel projected for November 22,2013.
