LOS ANGELES — Moviegoers wanted another helping of “The Hunger Games.” “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part One” ruled the Thanksgiving holiday box office for a second weekend in a row with $56.9 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. The total haul for the latest installment of the Lionsgate dystopian series starring Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen stands at $225.7 million domestically and $254.4 million internationally. “Penguins of Madagascar” opened in second place with a chilly $25.8 million. The animated spin-off centers on the penguin characters from DreamWorks Animation’s “Madagascar” franchise. “Penguins” fared better overseas, where the film earned an additional $36 million. Disney’s animated romp “Big Hero 6” and Paramount’s space-time
saga “Interstellar” respectively held onto the third and fourth positions with $18.7 million and $15.8 million in their fourth weekend at the box office. The domestic total for “Big Hero 6” has ballooned to $167.2 million, while filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar” is orbiting $147 million. The Warner Bros. comedy sequel
“Horrible Bosses 2” with Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day reprising their roles from the original 2011 movie debuted in fifth place with $15.7 million. Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box office tracker Rentrak, noted the overall box office was down 21 percent from last year when “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” and “Frozen” dominated the box office. “It was a situation where there was no way the box office could live up to the strength of the marketplace a year ago at Thanksgiving,” said Dergarabedian. “We had two unusually strong films at the top last year that completely knocked it out of the park.”
MADRID - Colombian pop star Shakira wants the press to leave her nearly two-year-old son with Spanish footballer Gerard Pique alone, she said in an interview published Sunday. She shared the first public photograph of her first son Milan sleeping in Pique’s arms on the website of Unicef just days after he was born on January 22, 2013 along with a request that people donate to the UN children’s agency. The multi-Grammy-winning singer, who is expecting her second child with Pique, has shared other pictures of Milan on social media sites but in recent weeks she has declined to be photographed with her son. “I liked being able to share with fans and the people who have always supported us the experience of being parents and the first months of my son’s life,” she told daily Spanish newspaper ABC. “But now that Milan is growing and has stopped being a baby, I would prefer it if the press did not focus so much on him. I would like him to enjoy a normal childhood, as much as that is possible.” Shakira, 37, and Pique, 27, met at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and went public with their relationship in early 2011. “Milan still does not realise that Gerard and I are famous, because that is all he knows. He recognises us on television and in ads, he points and says “Mama! Papa!”, but does not know that other kids do not find the image of their parents on a toy box,” she said.

NUSA DUA - General Chairman of Golkar Party Aburizal Bakri has expressed hope that Golkar`s leaders will remain solid in maintaining the mission and vision of the Party. “As the largest political party, Golkar must be able to maintain the solidness of its leaders and cadres in fighting for its mission and mission in the future,” Aburizal said. He said that it was admitted that there was a political dynamics developing within the party, yet the party must maintain the solidness and unity of its cadres in its efforts
to create prosperity for the people. “The Golkar Party is always ready to accept differences of opinion and prioritize the family hood spirit in seeking to resolve its internal problem,” he said in front of thousands of Golkar cadres coming from across the country. He said that in recent days there had been differences of opinion
among Golkar leaders and cadres. There is even an attempt to deny the results of Golkar`s National Working Meeting held in Yogyakarta recently. “One of the results of the national working meeting is a recommendation to organize the congress. All in the meeting jointly agreed the holding of the congress this month,” Aburizal said. Of late however, several senior leaders wanted to delay the congress or refuse the result of the Yogyakarta meeting by intending to organize the congress in 2015.
“But I am of the view that the congress should be held this month. The implementation of the congress is the result of the Yogyakarta meeting which decided that it should be held today (November 30),” the Golkar general chairman said. But some did not agree the congress to be held this month, he said. They held a meeting and set up a Presidium of Golkar Saviors chaired by Agung Laksono. Yet all these are not based on the party`s internal rules (AD/ART). “What the colleagues have done in setting up the Presidium is an
expression of their disagreement over the current congress. But all of those were illegal and were done as a form of pressure so that the congress is held next year,” he said. Aburizal said that even though some disagreed with the congress to be held this month, yet he was determined to carry out the Yogyakarta meeting results, namely to organize the congress on November 30, 2015. “I have to thank provincial, district and municipal party leaders who can think clearly and did not support the presidium because it is illegal,” he said.
