WEEKEND BOX OFFICE:  The odds again favor The Hunger Games, which sits atop the chart with another 21.5 million and cracks 500 million worldwide.The Three Stooges mildly beat predictions to take in 17,1 million against a 30 million budget.  The Cabin In The Woods showed with a 14.9 million debut.  Titanic 3-D drops to fourth on the 100th anniversary of the real event, taking in 11.6 million; its total is 44.4 million against 18 million spent to convert the 2-D original.  American Reunion rounds out the Top 5 with 10.7 million on a 50 percent drop from its debut; the latest slice now totals 39.9 million against a 50 million budget.

THE CABIN IN THE WOODS, co-written by Joss Whedon (Buffy, Firefly, Serenity) and director Drew Goddard, is generally not my genre, but this may be the smartest twist on the horror/slasher flick sice the original Scream.  Like that film, the Cabin plays on the audience's knowledge of the genre's tropes, but in this case upends them with the introduction of an entirely new and funny element (hence the involvement of Bradley Whitfield, Richard Jenkins and a surprise cameo).  However, the new element is not entirely funny, as it subtextually poses the question of why audiences watch slasher movies in the first place.  Perhaps the real ghouls are not on set.
