If you’d like to watch an esteemed former president battle vampires, witness the first female heroine Pixar has ever had, or ponder what you’d do if you knew the world was ending, line up at the multiplex — this weekend’s new movie offerings were tailor-made just for you.

Sci-fi adventure or family-friendly animated fun? Take your pick — those are the new offerings at the movies this weekend.

According to late Friday data from Hollywood watchers, Avengers did not break a record, but is still looking like a monster at the box office.

Continuing its quest for world domination, ‘The Hunger Games’ earned another $21.5 million this weekend and marked its fourth straight week atop the box office charts.

Have you seen ‘Titanic 3D’ yet?  If you haven’t, you might just want to wait until the film is re-released again, this time in Super 3D. We were able to obtain some footage of what ‘Titanic’ looks like when treated with this new technology, and let’s just say you’ll never see the movie in the same way again.

The juggernaut known as ‘The Hunger Games’ shows no signs of slowing down — it sold another $33.5 million in tickets to take the top spot at the box office for the third weekend in a row.

‘The Vow’ proved women do go to the movies, as the chick flick romance earned $41.7 million in its box office debut, making it the most popular movie in cineplexes this weekend.

Liam Neeson’s movie about being hunted by a pack of rogue wolves, ‘The Grey,’ was apparently red meat to movie-goers. It brought in $20 million in its debut to take the top spot at the box office this weekend.

‘Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol,’ the fourth movie in the popular franchise, ruled the box office with an iron hand last week. With a $31.2 million haul over the New Year’s holiday, Tom Cruise and company again reigned supreme.

It wouldn’t be Christmas time without Christmas movies, and even though the same half-dozen or so holiday classics tend to be played again and again during December two Christmas films folks are still not sick of are ‘A Christmas Story’ and ‘It’s a Wonderful Life.’
