"The Hunger Games" phenomenon continues to dominate the box office — and pop culture in general — as according to Hollywood.com the year's biggest film crushed the competition again, taking in $61.1 million over the weekend en route to a staggering 10-day total of $251 million.

New releases "Wrath of the Titans" and "Mirror Mirror" were expected to put up a challenge, but thanks to "The Hunger Games," neither movie stood a chance; "Wrath of the Titans" finished in second place with a $34.2 million debut, while "Mirror Mirror" earned a disappointing $19 million.

So just how high can "The Hunger Games" go before this is over? For the full box office report, including figures for returning favorites "21 Jump Street" and "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax," head to Hollywood.com.
