The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2: what we thought

The other big new release over the weekend was the holiday comedy “The Night Before“, which came in fourth place with an estimated million.

“People love this movie”, said Bruer.

The final chapter in the “Hunger Games” saga, “Mockingjay – Part 2″, is on track to hit a $102 million bullseye in its opening weekend, based on Friday receipts.

Despite the weak opening, STX, which bought domestic rights with Route One to the film for $6.5 million, expressed confidence that “The Secret In Their Eyes” would find its audience over the holidays.

Spectre, being touted as potentially the final Daniel Craig James Bond movie, has been breaking records like insane since its premiere. The R-rated film cost $25 million to produce.

“Mockingjay, Part 2”, however, failed to best the take of its predecessor, “Mockingjay, Part 1”, which opened at $121.9 million, according to competing tracker Rentrak.

The second “Mockingjay” might not have reached expectations for a franchise that has rung up more than $2 billion worldwide, but it’s nothing to sniff at, said Rentrak senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian.

Jennifer said, “These motion pictures had been my life for so long, and they needed to start things out in everything”, “I was additionally in an association with some individual for a long time and we separated around the same time that I wrapped those motion pictures”. While the box office is up 4.2 percent from last year, the year to beat is 2013 and this year is tracking less than 1 percent ahead of that.

“This has been a very brightly burning franchise for a relatively short amount of time”, Dergarabedian said – one that has increasingly appealed to an older crowd and not just teenage girls. “Spectre”, $14.6 million. 3. Films like this are always hard to predict final grosses for as it depends on the release strategy and how wide Open Road will let the film go, but $30 million to $40 million seems like a safe bet.

Mockingjay Part 2 grossed $146 million overseas in 87 markets with the United Kingdom contributing $17 million to that amount, China being just behind with $16 million, Germany with $14 million, Mexico with $8 million, and France with $7 million. Steven Spielberg movie Bridge of Spies dropped a place to sixth while the debut of Taiwanese romantic comedy Our Times came in at seventh. If Open Road had any aspirations for Oscar nominations for Secret in Their Eyes it was muted on account of mediocrity.
