Hunger Games is actually a film I can see doing well on Imax - it has great scenery. And isn't as "contained". Also the violence isn't that overwhelming. (Dark Knight on the other hand...will always bewilder me. So does Wrath of the Titans.)
Not surprised it did well - it was a good film. I expect it will easily top 200 million before May, there was a lot of people at that theater who muttered that they wanted to see it again. So it has the return audience too.
Smartly marketed, cast and produced film. Also, evidence that audience's want to see something new...not just remakes and sequels.
