Jennifer Lawrence-starrer "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" has eclipsed "Iron Man 3" to become the highest-grossing film released at the US box office in 2013.

Lionsgate Entertainment announced that the movie has grossed $423.6 million to date, now stepping into the top 10 highest-grossing films of all time domestically, reports deadline.com.

Globally, "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire", which released in the US Nov 22, 2013, now enjoys a worldwide box office total of $838.2 million after seven weeks in theaters. That eclipses the $691 million the first "Hunger Games" made during its entire theatrical run.
