THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE (PG-13): After winning the 74th Hunger Games competition, Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) go on a victory tour that inadvertently sparks a rebellion. Director Francis Lawrence (“I Am Legend,” “Constantine”) takes over from Gary Ross, who managed the seemingly impossible by turning the first novel into a crushingly dull film.

DELIVERY MAN (PG-13): Writer-director Ken Scott remakes his own French-Canadian 2011 comedy “Starbuck.” Vince Vaughn plays the underachiever who discovers his donations at sperm banks over a 20-year period made him the father of 533 children, many of whom suddenly want to meet him.
