Newsmakers ‘Catching Fire’ on pace for a box office record

DeGeneres has global ‘goal’ for Oscar gig

LOS ANGELES — The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is a scorching hit at the box office. Lionsgate has released early numbers on what’s expected to be one of the biggest November openings ever. Catching Fire has grossed $70.5 million domestically and $64 million internationally, bringing its total to $135 million, the studio reported Saturday. Numbers were from Friday’s opening day but includes some scattered preview shows on Thursday night. The sequel gained $25.3 million from Thursday screenings. Catching Fire is expected to bump two-week champ Thor: The Dark World out of the No. 1 slot. Totals for Catching Fire are expected to reach $150 million domestically over the weekend, though some reports estimated a $170 million opener.

LOS ANGELES — Ellen DeGeneres has high aspirations for her second time around hosting the Oscars. “It reached the world,” the talk show host said of her wellreceived 2007 Oscarcast. Ellen “And I’m DeGeneres trying to get world peace. So, that’s my goal.” DeGeneres may have been exaggerating, but there’s no overstating her enthusiasm for the upcoming March 2 gig. “I know a lot of those people,” she said of the Oscar audience. “They’re on my show a lot. I love the whole business.”

“This is a testament to the power of the books, the way the first film resonated across the world with audiences and Jennifer Lawrence’s continued success and popularity, particularly in this role,” said box-office analyst Paul Dergarabedian of Rentrak of the Catching Fire success. “And the movie has gotten great reviews, which means it

will get great word of mouth.” The impressive opening of Catching Fire is expected to mark the eighth-highest domestic opening to date. The Hunger Games, with $67.3 million its opening night in 2012, holds the title of the sixthhighest opening weekend with $152.5 million. The Avengers sits at No. 1 with $207.4 million.

NYC stores trim windows as gifts to city tourists By Samantha Critchell The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Forget window shopping, some of Manhattan’s biggest and most storied retailers say their elaborate seasonal window displays are a gift to passers-by. Reimagining every major holiday covered in a slick coating of ice, recreating cozy Christmas-morning scenes and paying homage to a local legend can be a yearlong labor of love. “Every store has their own style,” says David Hoey, senior director of visual presentation at Bergdorf Goodman. “We try to pick a theme that will lend itself for us to go to town. We all do.” At his corner of 57th Street and Fifth Avenue, arguably one of the most famous shopping intersections in the world, Hoey isn’t just celebrating Christmas, he’s paying homage to 12 holidays, including Valentine’s Day, Independence Day and Halloween. One of his favorite windows is the April Fool’s Day display that depicts a lovely outdoor springtime scene — assembled upside down. Kitty-corner from Bergdorf is Tiffany & Co. and its scenes that aim to capture the New York holiday of your best dreams and memories. “We are telling a story of the lives that go on here and the interactions that happen on Christmas Day and on that morning in New York City,” says Richard Moore, vice president of creative visual merchandising. He does add a little product to the scenes — it is a store, after all — but the holiday windows aren’t as much about pushing sales. “It’s about holiday spirit and celebrated tradition. The windows are for all ages, all different cultures. We just want you to stop and look and engage in our windows.” Hoey eagerly visits the windows of the other big stores. It’s a treat and a tradition, he says. “Window dressers and the people who do window displays is a very small community. We look at everyone’s windows. We are just as excited to see the other windows as everyone else is.” Moore soaks up the season, too. “There’s no better time to think about [the] next holiday than this holiday.” Here’s what window watchers can see now through the end of December, all located in midtown: Barneys New York: Barneys’ holiday collaboration with Jay Z, whose full name is Shawn Corey Carter, certainly has created the most headlines, but not for the windows or the BNY SCC collection items they feature. The focus has been on

the partnership in the midst of customers’ accusations of racial profiling while they were buying expensive items. The windows, though, are trained on high tech with interactive installations that feature light shows and a virtual sleigh ride with Santa and Mrs. Claus, fresh off Madison Avenue makeovers. Bergdorf Goodman: The “Holidays on Ice” theme exists in a “sort-of time warp,” Hoey says. There are details from the 17th through 21st centuries — and all coated with a little glimmer and shimmer. Bloomingdale’s: A trip around the block seems a trip around the world, with oversized packages celebrating shopping around the world, including France, Italy and China — and New York. Henri Bendel: A celebration of the work of the late illustrator Al Hirschfeld, the windows peek into an imaginary dinner party — at a tony town house, of course — filled with the celebrities who so often were his subjects. The guest list includes Sarah Jessica Parker, Liza Minnelli, Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn. Lord & Taylor: There’s also a party going on here. It’s part of the celebration of the traditional trappings of the season: shopping for gifts, taking tea and kissing goodnight. Macy’s: A little boy journeys through an enchanted forest, meeting all sorts of extraordinary characters along the way, and comes away with belief in faith and some magical dreams. Saks Fifth Avenue: Snow falls from the sky in a 3-D light show. Or, could someone — or something — be shaking the snow from the rooftop? Follow the story of Yeti, an underappreciated snowmaker in Siberia. (Saks’ display won’t be unveiled until Monday.)
