The movie adaptation of The Hunger Games premiered almost a week ago here in the Philippines, to much fanfare and hype. I was able to view it during the advance screening of the film last Wednesday at Mall of Asia together with my friends from Hunger Games Philippines. (A shout-out to our friends at Astroplus! Thank you for the seats!) Fast forward to today, the movie has already raked in $1.71 million locally, the highest among the Asian nations. It goes to show that when Filipinos fanaticize, they fanaticize hard. So hard it would be Christmas for the distributor and the cinema houses.
