'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' Tops Most Anticipated Blockbusters For 2013

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and Iron Man 3 are among the most anticipated blockbusters of 2013. That is the result of survey of over 2,000 film fans by online movie ticketing site Fandango, which asked users their picks for the new year.

The survey also ventures into who potential audiences are eyeing as potential breakouts over the year. Leading the pack among Best Male Breakout Movie Star is Henry Cavill, the Immortals star who will play Clark Kent/Superman in the upcoming Zack Snyder pic Man of Steel. Men in Black 3 actress Alice Eve tops the 'Biggest Female Breakout Movie Star.' The Men in Black 3 actress will play Dr. Carol Marcus in the upcoming Star Trek Into Darkness, which is also one of the most anticipated blockbusters of the new year.

Sir Ben Kingsley tops the "Most Anticipated Villain" category for Iron Man 3 (also an anticipated blockbuster), while World War Z tops out "Most Anticipated Apocalyptic Movie." The action-drama stars Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos and David Morse follows a U.N. employee who travels around the world in a race against time to stop the outbreak of a deadly Zombie pandemic.

After being Sexiest Man Alive in 2012, Channing Tatum is apparently maintaining momentum into 2013, coming in as the top "Sexiest Man in the Movies" for his roles in G.I. Joe: Retaliation and White House Down. Mila Kunis leads the pack in the female category for Oz: The Great and Powerful.

Two-thousand fans were polled by Fandango last week.
