Lionsgate’s blockbuster “The Hunger Games” took in $14.5 million, slipping to third-place after four weekends at No. 1.

“The Hunger Games” raised its domestic total to $356.9 million.

Disney’s nature documentary “Chimpanzee” opened at No. 4 with $10.2 million.

In fifth place, rounding out the top five was “The Three Stooges” with $9.2 million.

Doctor: Robin Gibb has colorectal cancer

LONDON

Bee Gees star Robin Gibb has advanced colorectal cancer and remains in intensive care after waking from a coma, his doctor said Sunday. The statement confirmed the exact nature of the illness afflicting the artist.

Dr. Andrew Thillainayagam said Gibb recently had caught pneumonia because he was weakened from chemotherapy and two operations.

The 62-year-old singer fell into a coma last week after contracting the pneumonia. Dr. Thillainayagam said that three days ago he had warned Gibb’s family that he may not wake up. Instead, Gibb is now fully conscious and able to speak.

Dr. Thillainayagam said Gibb is breathing with the help of an oxygen mask and needs intravenous feeding and antibiotics.
