The box office competition finally overwhelmed ‘The Hunger Games’ as the romantic comedy ‘Think Like a Man’ beat expectations with a chart-topping $33.0 million in ticket sales over the weekend. Love story ‘The Lucky One’ also exceeded forecasts to finish second. The two films pushed the blockbuster ‘Hunger Games’ to third, ending its four-week streak at No. 1. ‘Think Like a Man’ is based on comedian Steve Harvey’s best-selling, non-fiction relationship guide ‘Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man’. The movie follows four couples trying to work out various issues and stars Gabrielle Union, Kevin Hart, Michael Ealy, Romany Malco, hip-hop singer Chris Brown and Oscar-nominated actress Taraji Henson. ‘The Lucky One’ tells the story of a US Marine who returns from his third tour of duty in Iraq, convinced that the one thing that kept him safe and alive was a photograph of a beautiful woman he found in the rubble of war. It also was based on a book, a 2008 best-seller from well-known ‘Notebook’ author Nicholas Sparks. The movie stars Zac Efron and Taylor Schilling.
