Hunger Games: Catching Fire stayed at the top of the U.S. box office for the second straight week over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

According to box office receipts, the sequel earned over $110.2 million over the long weekend, out pacing the second place finisher Frozen, from Disney, which earned a solid if not spectacular $93 million.

The take by Frozen made it the biggest debut ever at Thanksgiving. In fact, third place finisher Catching Fire even passed the previous debut record for Thanksgiving set in 2001 by Harry Potter at $82.4 million.

An executive vice president at Walt Disney, for distribution, David Hollis said the results of Frozen were much, much better than anticipated and was the biggest ever release of one of its movies.

The last Disney movie to debut during Thanksgiving to take in a large dollar figure was Tangled in 2010, which earned a respectable $68.7 million.

Frozen is about a Scandinavian princess who attempts to save the kingdom after her sister, the queen, accidently used her magic powers to put the country under a deep freeze.

There was a big drop off after the first two finishers in the box office race, with third place going to Thor, another Disney film that earned $15.5 million.

The Best Man Holiday, a movie with an ensemble cast earned just over $11.1 million to claim the fourth spot for the weekend.

Homefront, which stars Jason Statham and was written by actor and director Sylvester Stallone finished fifth, but second in the race for debut movies with $9.8 million.

The disappointment of the weekend went to Oldboy, the latest movie by director Spike Lee that failed to attract much viewership earning just $850,000.

The biopic about Nelson Mandela titled Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom earned just over $100,300, but it is considered a good return given it opened in just four cinemas in Los Angeles and New York.

The box office in North America took in over $294 million during the five-day holiday weekend which beat last year’s taking during the same holiday, which was $290 million.

The Children’s Fund of the United Nations said it is alarmed over the increasing rates of HIV and AIDS amongst the adolescent population over the past seven years. The fund is proposing an aggressive style program that includes the distribution of condoms and antiretroviral treatments.

However, in a development that is more positive, UNICEF has found that the transmission of HIV from mother to child has dramatically reduced. The organization estimates that nearly 850,000 cases have been prevented in middle and low-income countries.

In a report released on Friday the U.N. organization said deaths related to AIDS amongst those 10 to 19 years of age increased to 110,000 from 71,000 between 2005 and 2012. Nearly 2.1 million people who are adolescents had HIV during 2012.

Close to 90% of the children who were newly infected with the virus, live in only 22 countries, with all but one in sub-Saharan Africa.

UNICEF has found a dramatic improvement in the prevention of new infections of HIV amongst infants. Approximately 260,000 children have been newly infected with HIV during 2012, in comparison to over 540,000 during 2005.

New antiretroviral simplified long life treatment referred to as Option B+ has provided an opportunity to treat HIV infected women effectively to prevent transmission of their virus during pregnancy to their babies, as well as during delivery and the term of breastfeeding. The new treatment involves a regimen of one-pill per day.

The sub-Saharan has seen some of the best successes within the program. New HIV infections amongst infants has fallen by 76% between 2009 and 2012 in Ghana, 58% in Namibia, 55% in Zimbabwe, 52% in Botswana and Malawi and 50% in Ethiopia and Zambia.

The United Nations Organization for children said that around the world, the number of overall deaths related to AIDS had fallen between the year of 2005 and 2012 by over 30%.

A good number of foundations in both the U.S. and other places around the world are working with governments in poorer countries in an attempt to educate them and their people in the prevention and treatment of the deadly virus.

The brother of Paul Walker may film some of the final scenes from Fast and Furious 7. On November 30, Paul Walker was killed in a fiery crash with his friend Roger Rodas. Stuntman and brother Cody Walker was reportedly approached by filmmakers to film the final scenes of his brother in the seventh edition of the Fast and Furious franchise.

According to sources, the stunt actor, who is 25, was asked to film those final scenes of his brother Paul and help conclude his journey in the latest installment.

One source said that they can easily shoot Cody from a distance and from behind without there being any noticeable difference. If Cody is to agree with the filming, it will be due to wanting to honor the memory of his brother. However, a number of details remain to be straightened out prior to a final decision, but at this point the family, cast and crew remain in a period of grieving said the source.

Paul, who was 40, died with Rodas after the Porsche they were traveling in lost control and struck a tree. The movie’s production was put on indefinite hold while writers rewrite the movie’s script in an attempt to complete Walker’s time in the movie.

It remains unclear whether Universal will keep the original date of release for July 11, 2014. However, filming is expected to resume sometime during January. Besides the need to rewrite the movie’s last scenes, Walker’s co-stars need time to mourn his loss and come to terms with his death.

Vin Diesel broke down crying in front of Walker’s family. He told reporters afterward that he figured they needed his strength, but he soon realized that when he broke down crying, it was he who needed the strength of Walker’s family.

Walker’s mother hugged Diesel and said she was sorry and he said sorry, you are a mother that just lost her son. She told yes, but you are the one who lost his other half.
